The intake event of my 9550 is mild and near stock, this helps the 9550 to have a smooth idle at lower RPM than other altered cams.
This cam was developed especially for D jet engines and is very effective in extending the usable RPM range, adding power, cooling off running temps and attaining better MPG. Jake Raby |

QUOTE(Jeff Bowlsby @ Dec 9 2006, 06:29 PM)  There is a place for mods and improvements and I fully respect and admire all the different approaches we see here. But if I ever need to rebuild my engine for my car, I would keep it to OEM bone stock specs if at all possible. The only time I would change it if stock parts were just simply not available. Seems like everyone wants something more/different/'better'/faster/custom/special/whatever. Stock is refreshing to me, in part because so few are keeping these cars stock, so while stock was common before, now its very rare to see a stock 914. I like my 914s stock, I like the experience of driving them stock and I know myself well enough that anything differnet than the way the factory built it annoys me. I know....I know...some people think I am a nutcase, I am a nutcase....but at least I drive and enjoy my 914 everyday...and I am not always trying to improve it....There would be too many decisions to make, and none of them would be....'right'. For me stock=right.

BUT LET THE JUDGES SMILE ON MY BEHALF.. If I ever tie for first...in the Restoration class.. I will use my >stock< engine internals as the tie breaker !! With a full set of receipts to prove it.. PLUS... no tummy tuck/boob job/face lift/collagen injection/lipo suction Etc.. Just as I married it...Is fine with me.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) |

Jake Raby This is what sold me on the 9550 cam and it delivered in the 3 engines I have installed it in... Sometimes modern design and testing surpasses "stock" because Porsche nor VW had much time or money to do it right in the first place. |
