Hi Gavin, we installed 9000 N/A cams in Gary's engine that his 4 speed trans guy in Sweden provided but they turned out to be our of a '94 which are 10 crankshaft degrees different in cam timing (good thing we degree everything in we build!) so I just installed a set of C-900 2.1 N/A cams that I happen to have which were the same as the 9000 N/A cams that Jorgen intended to send. Anyway Gary has upgrades to some performance cam from Sweden so we're getting the spec's and we'll go from there. In Gary's situation with the high-flow turbo, big intercooler and on and on stock N/A cams wouldn't cut it! The lesson learned in your case thanks to all of JAK's first hand knowledge is that what is so critical in a turbo application is cam timing. A better way to explain it is valve opening and closing events especially intake closing and exhaust opening. With adjustable cam sprockets you cam have cams with enough duration to handle a setup like Gary's and still get the response you found through JAK's genius and commonsense with these cars. Gary's car will definitely get adjustable cam sprockets and different cams if necessary! Take care, Dave
