That wasn't the reason...I removed them because they were hurting turbo

spool-up...something that you'll never experience on a NA car !



My point is...if you are decided to go the NA way, then a set of cams has

to be considered ! The ones that I got, from Rod Millen, BTW, were the mild

ones ! After speaking with the HKS importer for Europe, I would not even

consider the other two sets...as the compromise the idle quality...a

lot(their words, not mine) !



It's common sense, also, that going NA will compromise the bottom end, but,

you, better than anyone else, knows if you can live with that ! 



Either way, if your planning to build a 170bhp car, I'm sure it will be a

hell of a car to drive...do it !!
