Re: CAM Talk

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

a g-grind is a nice cam assuming your 1.8 is a solid lifter JH. Stock on
euro GTi's it has plenty of torque(although you will lose a little) but it
breathes a lot more high end. At 99 bucks, who can go wrong? I'd think
about performance valve springs depending on the mileage of the motor and
intended use. I have a g-grind, but I think I'm getting the HOR 286 cam and
try that out. I dont like having to shift at 7100 when the engine could rev
a lot higher. We'll see.. :)
