RE: Euro Cam?

["Shannon" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Im happier with mine more every day I drive it. Heres what I posted to the
list this week on my EuroCam.

ell thought I would let you all know how my Eruo cam is doing. Take all the
results with a grain of salt since my 16V has over 210K on the clock and I
suspect a timing problem.
Install was very simple, cutting out cool down and beer comsumption time it
took maybe 2hrs. Popped the old out and put the new in. At first it was ok
but not necessarly worth the 280 but I threw out my POS Bosch+4s (Bosch says
NA for the 16V although I bought them at a Bosch dealer) and put some 3
prong
NGKs in and its kick ass. I smack the rev limiter in every gear except 5th
(on thin ice with DOT). The power curve seems meatier all the way around. It
actually seems to pick up sooner. But there is no defineable plane where the
car seems to be just making noise. Just the rev limiter...ask Jared. We
couldnt figure out what the thump was when we first took it out! DOH 7250! I
drove home tonight and it just hauls, and if does that on a high milage
motor
like mine I couldnt imagine what it would do on a younger 16V. All in all...
I would have absolutly no reserve in buying another one. Milage I dont know
about yet but I could really care less. Now to get rid of that damn rev
limiter.........

I was thinking about different cam options and needed some advice...
Is a Euro cam a worth-while change for the $$ in a stock 16v?  I am
looking to increase the upper end and give some significant increases.
What kind of differences can be expected with this Euro cam in a stock
16v?  I would like to do a pair of cams, but can't afford it now.  Even
if I later upgrade to a 2.0 16v, would this Euro cam still be a bennefit?

I would just hate to spend $200 now on this cam when I *should* have
saved for a pair of cams instead.
 Does anyone have experiences to share?  Any thoughts are appreciated!!
TIA
