After reading the article on Humanspeakers about using a 5000 cam in a Coupe GT, it got me thinking about a cheaper alternative to the Schrick for my NG.

While I realize it would ne nessesary to do some port matching and headwork to the current engine to see any reasonable gains from a cam...has anyone done this swap and can the gains from Huw's article be replicated in the NG? Also, what specs does the 5000 cam have as far as lift/duration etc.

Edit: D'oh...never bothered to search for 'camshaft' instead of cam. Anyone still want to chime in?

like they said, solid stays with solid and hyrdo stays with hydro. well the NG has hyrdo's in them and i dont know about the MC's. i could have sworn the mc-2 had hydrualic lifters. im thinkin of headin down to my local junkyard and seein how much i can pick up a MC head for. my turbo swap has been set back greatly and i need to make my car faster somehow! its just too damn slow!

but people say that since its a turbo cam, the valve lift is increased, however the valve opening time is decreased. So I dont know if you would really gain. I guess it's worth a try though.
BTW I meant to say it last time, nice sig! ;-)
