    Added some more info about intake charge that should be taken into account when selecting cams.

    x2.. Dont get me wrong .. Huge cams are nice.. i doubt the head is efficient where the cam is designed to make power..

    Theory shmeary. Big cams don't work on a turbo car either, right? I've seen 160whp aba graphs out of this cam. I'm buying one.

    I was running a custom short runner with a VR throttle body.

    I recently picked up a set of Wiseco 13.4:1 8v pistons for the 1.8 block, and started wondering what this cam would be like on a high comp 8v. So tempted...
