If you are going to change the cam, then get new tappets too, to decrease the likelyhood of premature cam wear due to used and worn existing tappets. :wink:

A cam will help but unless you have done other mods the gain if any will be small.

Stick a PB (GTI) head on it.

Put a 4-branch manifold on it.

Give it a little dose of porting.

Throw it all away and put an ABF or similar in it, because it runs like a bag of nails and is a pain to drive anything but flat-out.
