Ive been after schimmel cams for my 16v, but i think they only do them for the vr6

Are you aware of the problems with long duration/high lift cams on 16v ABF engines running a plenum?

Reducing my Golf count by the week....

Please explain I would like to know.
All I can think that idle would be sh!te, may have to set it at 1500rpm. And that it would be starved of air above 7000rpm.

I know enough but would like more info.

On a standard mk3, £200 would have to be spent on cheapo ebay coilovers. Cant see any other choice?
