Re: regrinds/ euro intake cam??

[Benjamin Harder <vwtype53@yahoo.com>]

Yes, this is actually common for a "modified" 16v to have 
this dip in torque... a stock 16v has no dip at all...just
a nice smooth curve.  Kinda disappointing that when you 
gain top end, that there is a loss early on...  : (
My only guess for this loss would be my euro cam...?

Yes, I have a stock downpipe w/ TT 2.25'' w/ a superturbo
muffler.  I also have a lightened flywheel...
