Cams performance figures

Usual story; cambelt due to be changed soon, considering cams blah blah

After reading around the subject quite a bit recently, all I ever read about is the power/torque increase. Whilst they seem quite impressive on paper, how do they translate to lower acceleration times?

0-60? 50-70? 100-top speed? Etc.

Second question: I have 'compared performance'* in a straight line with a few 1*2s recently and straight line speed is near as makes no difference identical. How much of a gap will cams allow me to pull from say 80-top speed?


*All comparison were performed on a de-restricted section of the Autobahn just outside of Stuttgart.
 
You need alot of extra bhp to make a small gain, 15bhp won't have you pulling away at any substantial rate.

Agree. It's not a car transforming mod that's for sure and to be honest noone should expect it to be. The car feels great though, kind of beefed up:smile:
 
I think I'm just going to have a ride in someone's car with cams and see if it feels worth it :smile:

you'd need to drive it to get a true feeling of what they are like,preferably alone as well as these cars don't like carrying extra weight,they are heavy enough to start with
