Default rs4 intake cams. yay or nah?

Any downside to these?

running k04/rs6 brids, and the usual supporting mods.

After getting fooked by these revolvers im a little skittish about cams.

I have to pull my stock cams out again to fix my blown lifters so nows the time to decide.

Default I'm getting ready to install rs4 cams. they definitely can't hurt.

At least you know they are an oem designed cam..

Default For $900 or less, you can find a good pair of AHA or ATQ heads.....

The 2.8 heads have the same intake port size as the RS4... And they are easily available in the US...

Get them machined for a 3-angle valve setup, replace the exhaust valves with the sodium filled S4 ones and you're way ahead of the game!

Best wishes,
