Default Webcam 20/21 questions

With all the documentation I received with my car, I found that the PO's shop put in Webcam 20/21's. I did some searching but there's not too much info specifically with these cams on a 964. Some people say that they are totally wrong for the 964, other's obviously not.

I guess I'm wondering what the difference would be to the stock 964 cams? I'm guessing provide more HP - any idea how much? Would they move the HP band higher up in the rpm range? Less lower-end torque also? Anything else?

The car runs well and pulls hard but just wondering what the shop was hoping to accomplish?

Sorry, I can't help. Have you contacted Webcam to ask them what the benefits are?

Good point but it can't hurt to ask them too. By the way, Sboxin is building a motor with those cams. You may wan to ask for his thoughts.

Rob -

We are putting those in our race engine for a bit more HP -- but more for the torque properties across the RPM range.
We are limited on HP for race classing to 248RWHP but we need torque in the 230+ for 3000 to 6500 RPM. We had a class winning car with a 3.2 Aase stock spec engine until the BMW guys put up the 230+ torque engines - they get us on the starts and long straights.

We will have the engine built and running dyno tune in the fall -- we'll have more direct data then. We based a lot of our decisions on the 911chips.com dyno charts, forum discussions, our local Porsche Indi guru (DJ Jackson), Don at EBS in Reno -- and of course talking directly with the really nice staff at Webcams.

The difficult part of this project may be confining the engine to 248RWHP...

Regards,
Roy T

Thanks Rob and Roy!
It was actually Roy's thread that reminded me of always wanting to ask this question.

I have a Wong chip and cat bypass but haven't measured anything on a dyno. PO engine builder left the O2 sensor disconnected I think on purpose but am not sure. Curious to engine performance and what others have measured with the cams.
