Dont aim for a power figure mate - a dyno will read whatever it reads - i would say have an aim as to where you want the power delivered - early, mid range punch or a high rpm screamer.

It will be easier to make power through the manual box, but i still think it is the wrong way to go about it!

Have a chat to a mechanic or tuner about what you want out of the car, and choose a cam accordingly

For example - i wanted a mid range punch that would not lose down low and still go well up top - so I chose a 224/228@112 - as big as i would dare on the standard stall on the A6.

Hope it all works out well - cams are very cheap with the dollar so good!

thanks mate what im after is a cam with good midrange as i take the ute to wakefield from now on also not concerned about power output as ive never had mine dynoed just so i can go around wakefield in low 1m11s i currently did it in 1m17s on street tyres

just intake, tune , exhaust and cam. probably not suited to curcuit racing as its more top end power.

It's a big country - got a state in mind?

new york, vegas, new mexico and LA

I've never been east of Las Vegas but done LA heaps of times and there are a million speed shops. Secret is to find a good one. The tax is highest in California but it's a more competitive market so the prices should be lower.

Not sure they do "duty free" but a google maps search of "los angeles" +"speed shop" +performance shows quite a few around LA.

Hopefully there will be some members that already have purchased and can recommend a good shop for you.
