I've been doing a little tinkering with my Syncro's 2.0L I4 engine. Currently in "stock" form I can get 0 to 60MPH in 20 seconds. This is done via: - Stock Volkswagen Hydrolic lifter cam - 8 BTDC ignition timing @ 950 RPM - 205 S distributor with 86 GTI timing map - 1.5% CO - 27" tires installed It's been so long that I have driven a boxer I was wondering if this is much faster than stock. Tomorrow I will try two cams in there, a 266 degree and a 268 degree... results will follow.
