[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 39715, member: 2781"] More on such things as cams and the way she runs , and FEELS while doing it . I first went to Mk 2s in the mid 50s , WOW they were more sexy , pulled harder above 80 , all the good stuff . Ran them for a couple years beating me pals . Then one day I cleaned up a rusty set of old Mk 1s and popped em in , nothing else changed just to see the effect . Immediately I felt the change in running style . It was more forceful right off idle and zippier at town speeds , needed less gear swapping , tick tocked along in top smoothly at speeds as low as 18mph and happy to pull right up to road speed with out a gear change . It was really sweeter , easier to live with . Sure it lacked strong pulling the equal of Mk2s beyond that but it suddenly seemed not to matter as much . I had matured a bit , gotten wiser anyway as far as this cam deal went . It was a worthwhile consideration to make , horses for courses yet again . Sid . Oo [/QUOTE]
