Re: Questions: To Cam or Not to Cam

[Leo Almeida <scirvw16vleo@yahoo.com>]

I have the Autotech 16v cam set on my 1.8 installed by New Dimensions. I like the Top-end power and most of all, it is a smog-legal. tested the qtr mile diff with stock and really pulls strong above 4K rpm. cost was $400.00. it made .200 sec below stock

  good luck,

Leo

You should be able to beat a non-turbo Eclipse with a stock 16V Scirocco.


How fast are they?

For a daily driver and passing emission testing, I would go with a "euro"
intake cam.
What state are you in?

A converted 2H or 4K, would be better for the quarter mile, but the 2Y is
great for a daily driver, especially if you do the .75 5th gear
conversion.

If you didn't already get the Autotech exhaust, I can save you 10% on the
Autotech exhaust and cam, or a Techtonics exhaust.
