Re: Schrick cams

Yes, your right about the cam, it is very smmoth and does pull hard right up
to the redline. It will hurt low end torque however; pulling strongly at the
low end should be credited to the longer stroke of that 2.0 liters motor.
The Schrick 272 assymetric cam has exactly the same profile for both the 4
and 5 cyl. cars.
