heads are up fro grabs too (bent valves/TB fail motor)

Just so that all are aware, these will not bolt straight into a S4 or later 928 head.
The cam shoulder doesn't work on the 5/8 exhaust cam

It can be modified by a machine shop to work. I'm running an S3 grind in my GT for the left exhaust.

I know the exhausts are more desirable, but I could use a pair of S3 intake cams for a science experiment.

How much of an HP gain would one see versus stock if these were machined to fit in an 87 s4?

Changing cams is a lot of work , why would you not go with a set of Colins cams ?
I pulled out the GT cams , installed Colins triflows and a exhaust system and picked up over 60 HP

If I had to guess why someone wouldn't go with Colin's cams it would probably be due to them costing around $4-5,000.

But damn they are nice!

Can I have your driver's side exh cam please? I'll happily give up my ground S3 cam or whatever.

If I ever parted with the GT cams It would be as a set , I will never put them back in , the car runs so nicely now , but I just like to keep all the original bits . TRIFLOW = stagered intake lobes , one valve opens sooner and one closes later , it maintains better air flow , resulting in better mid range without effecting top end . I also have 2 sets of S4 cams / a set of threshie race cam ( probable junk) and a extra set of Colins TRIFLOW cams . And a set of 16v highlift new from billet cams with matching heads fully ported big valves ect

If you do get rid of the GT cams as a set, keep me in mind.
