16V Cam Comparison Article

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Dan, yes the article probably creates more questions than answers and
then they throw the 50mm intake into the mix.  What I would like to find
more information on is CatCams for the 16V 2.0l motor.  I have included
a link to the cat cam site as well as an old discussion from the vortex
archives.  Rick.

Thanks for posting that Rick.
But, I'm disappointed. There are barely any comparison plots for the 6
different cam sets they tested, ALL of the cams just barely had a little
more top end over a Euro cam (from what I can see) and the dyno plots
where just completely effed up. Torque and Hp plots were mislabeled and
what's with the really high low RPM Hp with a huge dip? Some dodo
swapped the HP and torque numbers for the lower RPM portion of most of
the plots making them useless. HP is always less than T below 5250 RPM
and always higher above 5250!
I'll go back and read it again to see if I can get more insight out of
it than 260 intake cam, 278 exhaust cam, TT race header, TT 2.5" exhaust
and 50mm intake manifold.

Somehow getting sucked into 16V Hp before I even finish my turbo 8V.
