So as the man asks? Is it noticeable?

16 valve heads are as I understand it a WHOLE different ball of wax.

If this is a quick easy upgrade I am interested.

By definition the 16v is way more efficient than the 8v. You can spend a lot of money making the 8v perform very nicely, but it won't even equal the VE or CFM of a stock 16v. If you then upgrade the 16v you can make it probably perform twice as well as the 8v at a guess, though this is not just the cams, it's entire headwork This also doesn't just fall out of trees though. You want to play, you have to pay.
