Hello all and thanks, I'm not exactly new to vdubs, however i've not delt with such animals as the fiesty gti. The MK2 ballgame is a different world to me I've played with the older air cooled dubs and have had a old rabbit that was built already, but, i've not had my hands on one of these vws before.I see some one replied with a 280 street cam for sale how well does this cam work and what rpm does it  start making power and what other add ons do i need or does running the stock head , exhaust and intake does that hinder this cam?? :undecided: Thanks, Mrpug( Yes I'm a guy).

The one question that is on my mind is, my vw is sluggish until I get into the 1800 - 2,000 rpm then the engine comes alive is this typical or is this a tuning issue? also the idle varies from 600- 1100 when i let off the throttle any input?
