new cam

[77mk1]

i bought a Golf GTI Mk1 New Performance hi-lift Camshaft

said to give a 10hp+ from a solid tappet engine setup, i have a 77gls. is there anything i need to do besides getting the head machined to fit the cam.

should i get a slightly bigger carb and new dizzy

first time engine modder so need some extra help.

also, if in adelaide does anybody know where i can take the head to get machined that won't cost an arm and leg

Why machine the head mate?? You need to have the tappet clearances done but that should be it? I would make sure that the dissy and carb you have are working tip top.

cheers for the heads up, the guy i bought it off said i would have to get it machined so was just going off what he said. carb is pretty good just need to do something about the choke and as far as i can tell the dizzy is going ok too.

I'd be quizzing the seller further then to make sure........

if you want to get some power out of it, get something other than a standard carb! BIg cam won't help nearly as much if you have the standard choker solex on there..

what carb would you suggest
