Does anybody know how many MM difference is in this cam on the actual Pushers (forgot the name now!)

Or what extra a Polo could take?

right got the polo back on the road and can confirm this mod is very good the engine revs up quicker and revs out longer and actually hits the limiter now where as before it didnt ! however the engine still dies of death in 5th gear but that because off the lack off a 4 branch manifold and intake restriction (manifold) and the fueling side of things

although me being me ! im allready thinking of a wilder cam even before the other mods ! so that does say how much difference this has done or a shrick wouldnt even be thought off ..
so come on shane ! aka " hardcore" lets see what it does for a 1.4 multi point ! i would imagine more to be gained from your setup :D

Would this work on the 6n2 1.0, without any problems?
Many thanks

Would work yes, but it's not the engine to get much out of as a result, for instance, a 10% increase of 50bhp is not very much, surely since the 1.0 engines are not the best in valvediameter and head/inlet-ports
