Re: Velocity 16V Cam setup and 50mm manifold...

The EC article is really confusing. The guy from Velocity that did the cam
comparisons posted a few messages about it on the VW Vortex board. He said
that EC screwed the graphs and all up really bad. I believe he said they are
going to print the right ones in the next issue or so. Check out the 16v
forum on VW Vortex to get the low down.
