Yes, there is a full 2mm more lift on each cam along with wider lobe angle between intake and exhaust. I'm not sure the TB and runners will buy me anything on the turbo car. I feed the TB with a 2.25" diameter pipe and all 400 HP comes in through that pipe. I think the cams will help assuming the overlap is held to a minimum, which I think it is after some investigation this weekend.
If a cam change alone will add 25 NA HP, then on the bottle it should be worth about 1.8 times that. It might even help spool times to build higher boost up the middle. Best part is they are free! Gotta love a $350.00, 75,000 mile Euro motor off of E-bay....the internals on this thing are clean! it was pulled to go to Chevy Power to "avoid maintenance expenses". Owner told me it was a US and it even came with a Jetronic box!. Hope he isn't kicking himself now...
Can I get to 400+ horse at the wheels with this cam change is the question!
