Hmmm Present for the car

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

I did this on my car now and it is nice for what I paid for it.  I sort of
like the lumpy idle but it wasn't that lumpy either.  Secondly, if you want
something a little milder, then go for the euro grind on your stock intake.
Adds a little (not as much as the exh. cam) and won't make your idle as
rough.  For the most part, a higher performance cam will most always take
away something somewhere else.  Just like advancing you cam timing or
retarding it.  Take away here, add here, there's always a downside to
performance mods once you get past installing a K&N!!

backwards in place of the intake cam and now I have the same as a 16v with a
euro cam? Granted, I know this is waaaaay simplier than truth, but just want
to clarify. Also, how much does a regrind usually go for?
