This is not true, it's not equivalent to the Euro intake cam.

I've heard of this modification before, but nothing more specific.  I
would guess it works, but why screw around so much.  Just buy a Euro
intake cam (if that's what you want), less hassle.  And it's a known 
entity.  If it's max performance you're after, bite the 16v bullet and
get a set of Schricks.  Anyone tried the new Autotech 16v cams yet?  I've
read that they outperform the 'benchmark' Schrick 260's. (Interesting,
as I"ll be running the Schricks in '99).
