Info on a cam.

[Foxy-jim]

FWIW, I know a guy that cammed his 106 quiksilver and made LESS power than standard. He didn't get it mapped and while it drove, it ran like a bag of crap. He retarded the timing to get it to run, hence the crap power.

You'd need some SERIOUS work to get the asthmatic 1.4 up to GTI6 worrying pace.

Would be epic, but £xK later I get the feeling you'd think "erm, why did I just do that?". Go for it if you have the disposable beer tokens but I really can't see the appeal.

Even if you wanted to stay TU, there's much better bases than the 1.4 8v

Did he go for a race or rallye cam? That may explain that! My mates 1.4 quicksilver was so quick after he cammed it! Spitting flames everywhere too!

I may rebuild a 1.6 8v as they are 98bhp as standard.
