Camshaft Identification

[kbvw]

Hi all,
I have two camshafts from various sources. Both have the same lift (Base circle:33.6, tip of lobe:43.7) of 10.1mm, they seem to have the same profile (when looking along them), however, the stamps/markings are different.

The cam that is currently installed in my 8v digi 90' Mk2 has:
G 6a 026 Mexico
G6 3ME (audi/vw circles)

The cam that is laying around has:
WZO 2263 (triangle)
026 (although could be 028 ) Germany (audi/vw circles)

Can anyone help decypher these codes?
Just from the codes, should one of these offer me better performance?
And, without going to an expensive aftermarket performance cam, do I have the best "stock" cam that was/is available...as this is my aim.

As a side note, I've recently completed replacing the stock with the Mk3 downpipe and manifold mod (with thanks to Golf Loon for his advice, it was still a bitch of a job, I have many scars to prove it) and I can report a noticeable difference in the feel (and noise) of the car .

Thanks all,
KB

Glad you got the thing together, nice work.

I think those two cams are the same, just one made in Germany and one in Mexico. The 026 is the standard Digi Cam.

The one you want is a G Grind cam from a kjet 8v with a G promenantly stamped on it somewhere. Thats the best stock cam.

Hey Matt.
It makes sense that these are the same, however, are these 026's the originals that came with the Jap/Aus spec cards, or has this car already had its cam replaced by a Euro std spec?

I guess I'll be hunting ebay for a Kjet. Any idea of the lift/duration/markings that I can use to ID the KJet G Grind. I only ask as the Mexico cam has a prominent G on it, much bolder than the other markings.
