I curiously await the result of the turbo cam installation.  Someday, if
things 
go as "planned", I'll prolly be using the same setup in my Coupe GT if
it works.

1 tooth, tho'?  Isn't that like 6 degrees?  Has there been any
experience in 
this particular mod?  Or are you the "pioneer", so to speak?

Good luck, don't forget the cam key, or the h2O pump gasket.  I'm
assuming 
you're doing the timing belt and water pump too, right?
