Vortex thread-PL and 9a Stock Cam Sets Different?

[JoshuaA.Conner at VerizonWireless.com (JoshuaA.Conner@VerizonWireless.com)]

You should copy the PN's on over to uber-god of wild info Dick Shine so he
could at least have a partial clue.  I always enjoy the way certain
disciples bow down before him like he THE race setup deity.  My $.015

ETKA lists the cams with the same PN.
Ancient data from Techtonics shows the 1.8 head intake handily outflows the 
2.0 head by 7%. The exhaust isn't as good, but by a smaller % and, quite 
frankly you'd need to be an idiot (insert that jackass Dave in Washington 
here) to think that intake flow wouldn't be more important.
The 2.0 head may have better midrange torque, but on a 2.0 block the 1.8 
head has plenty of torque. I doubt if anybody will really notice the lack of

torque with the 1.8 head.
