Re: Change my cam!!!
The only hard and fast rule is that an engine with shimmed followers must use a cam from an engine with shimmed followers, similarly an engine with hydraulic followers must use a cam from an engine with hydraulic followers.. other than that its up to you regarding what you want in terms of drivability, powerband etc..
GTI cam is a cheap mod but if you have other mods or want to take it further then look at Kent, Piper, Newman, CatCams etc then take the plunge!
