S-gruppees (Joern and Hap):  I am hearing that the 7A exhaust cam is just about as good as an RS2 exhaust cam with respect to power/torque, etc. but at considerably less cost than the RS2 cam.  However, the overlap of the 7A bothers me.  In my old 8V 2L (Audi engine) VW days, I had a  Neuspeed 262 degree cam would not pass an "Air Care" sniffing test, even with a Cat, at idle.  At highway speed (3000 RPM engine speed on a wheel dynamometer) - no problem. But at idle - FAIL, try (and pay) again.  My concern would be that the 7A cam wouldn't pass the sniffer test and it is WAY more complicated to swap in and out on a AAN (than the 30 min. it took with the 8V 2L) to "fake" the pass.

Any Been there, passed that test, experiences?
