Pfffft - I'll rip a 13.1 no problem next time I'm at the track now that I know how to launch it.
But I'm sure you'll find some excuse why my car's fast then. :-/

I can do 105 in 3rd gear.....
but that's with the 2.8 trans.
And if you do a comparison of the final drive ratio, you'll see:
1.8T vs. 2.7T vs. 2.8
14.7 vs. 14.4 vs. 13.6
8.46 vs. 7.77 vs. 7.56
5.56 vs. 5.06 vs. 5.06
4.00 vs. 3.98 vs. 3.67
3.26 vs. 3.31 vs. 3.07
First gear is almost identical, so you're not going to see a big difference in 60 foot time. Doing 105 in 3rd gear is only beneficial if you can go through the traps at 105 or less.
Hell, you could slap on some taller tires and get the benefits of a taller gear ratio, without having to worry about changing trannies.

There is nothing wrong with Schrick cams. Why would you say there is?
If you must know, the schrick cam is 1 tooth or 2 deg off from where it should be. I used a adjustable wheel to fix the problem but was told the wheels on the cam can be turned if you take out the bolts.
