... actually you can get at least some of the cam info from the Bentley for
the 5k.  It is probably best to check for yourself, but if memory serves the
cam in the highest performance non-turbo engine (code NF/NG) has exactly the
same parameters as the cam that is used in the MC engine.  Many have _heard_
that it was an improvement, but my recollection of BTDT that was posted in
an earlier thread was that the results were mixed at best.  Seeing as one
way or another I'm going to end up with an extra MC cam lying around I'll
probably try it myself in the 4kSQ just to know for myself if it makes a
difference ... :-)

... you didn't think that bright red leather upholstery was special? :-) ...
well, the special edition might be worth a few $$ ... seems to me that when
I checked one of the websites (KBB or Edmunds) I remember seeing a check-box
for the Commemorative Edition for that model.  

HTH!
