1991 S4 or GT?

GT from your other thread - GT cams are like hens teeth or rocking horse **** to find.
Talk to Colin Jensen "LIZARD" as he has some nice aftermarket sets.

Guessing GT, based on his other thread.

LFA, some of the individual GT cams are NLA, and those that aren't, are hideously expensive. You'll be money and hp ahead by ordering a set of cams from Colin (AKA Lizard931).

One evening and two bottles of wine with him will get you speaking another language.

To the OP, I also recommend going with the cams that Colin (Lizard931) offers, good stuff.

I am not expert at all on 928s but, when I look at the parts catalogue it seem like S4 and GT have the same cam shafts from 1988 to 1991. Is this wrong? ( 928 105 274 01 fits both 88- M28.41 nand 89- M28.47)

Wrong big time - 87 to 91 S4 5 speed and auto had one set of cams - 88 to 91 SE, CS and GT had another set of cams. Rob will be back in a few and give you all the detail.
You need GT cams my friend and by the way welcome to Rennlist you just found the source for more 928 information than you could ever wish for.

PET is misleading on the GT cams, as it lists M28.41/M637, which at first glance seems like S4 (since 'regular' S4 5-speeds have M28.41 engines) , but the M637 is referring specifically to CS and SE cars, which also have M28.41 engines.

Here's a table of 32V cam specs/lift/duration/etc and part numbers.

So Rob are you saying although the part numbers change they are really all the same?

It looks to me that the S3 cams are the same lift and duration as the GT

S3 vs. GT lift and duration are the same, LSA's and overlap are different.

Here are two tables shamelessly copied from work done by Dennis Kao (and possibly Jim Morton? apologies if the acknowledgements are incomplete.....)
