or a hawk cam? I would like to know how they perform as well? I would guess cam and header should make a noticable increase in power for the 8V?

Stock ;D

I just bought ( but have not received yet ) a rebuilt head with a Calmini cam. Once it's installed I'll let you know what I think.
It's going on/in the engine after I receive the Weber 32/36 DGAV I bought from a guy in the US, he sent it to MidWest Performance ( Sarge ) who is going to set it up for bolting it on my Sammi with one of his flowed intakes. I also bought headers, so all the changes at once will make  difference I hope  ;)
[edit]Well, that plan changed a bit since I bought the Camden SuperCharger 2days ago ;), but I will still use that head with the Calmini cam, shave the head just a little, I just have to take in all the advise I can find on the Internet and all the advice from people "in the know" to make my final plan [/edit]

Same here :)

did the isky cam in the 1.6 8V and noticed nothing.
did the isky in a 1.6 w/1.3 head and pony carb, very torquey between 2200-3500 rpm, lots of pull
driven a 1.3 with the isky and dt header and noticed a big improvement torque in a wider rpm range
my conclusion, not worth it for the 1.6 8V. try this guy he's in BC so it'll be a bit cheaper for ya

And hope to see some gains. Cause motor swap is not in my option.

Thats like $160 more than a Summo II and aside from a new rocker shaft, It's about the same thing.

Sent colt cams a email ive heard good reviews on there cams. If they can have a cam ready soon ill put it in and let u guys know how it goes cause no one on this board has done a cam in there 8vlaves.
-
I'm running the high torque cam from Colt Cams and have noticed a improvement in my bottom end power. No diff in hwy power tho that I noticed.
-
I've been running a Hawk cam since 1997. It's performed well. Can't say how much of an improvement it (the cam) actually itself contributed.......I installed a header and a Jacobs ignition at the same time. I have been very impressed with the overall performance............But the 8V has finally been beaten for 15 years and withstood some very hard and unrelenting abuse, about to install a 16V.
doing anything with the old aftermarket stuff(yes this means i'm calling dibs ;D :P)

So what cam is better for highway power
