Well, I'm sure this isn't going to win me any friends, but... I switched from a 2l head with euro intake cam to a 1.8l head with the TT cam set. I have alot more top end power, mostly due to the cam set. They're very nice!! Smooth idle, easily passed emissions, tons of top end power.
However, I definately lost torque. It's hard to say whether it was the cams or the head, but it's there. By looking at the dyno sheet of the cams on TT's website, there shouldn't be any loss of low end torque due to the cams, which leads me to think it's the head. I was rather disappointed by that, but I primarily auto-x the car, and having the power out to 7000 rpm is where I need it the most.. -josh --- "D.
