Ipd Turbo Cam vs. V15 or K15

smokin'740TIC · 07-10-2004, 01:12 PM

Hey guys

Before I switch to MS I am going to buy a camshaft and adjustable gear. I am going to get the adjustable gear from Ipd so that I got that all worked out. But I cant pick a camshaft.
Is the Ipd Turbo cam just as good as a V15? Can I get the Turbo cam and advance the gear a couple of degrees so I can get fair low end torque and great high end torque? Will this set up work? Thanks guys for answering all of my questions.

K15 is a massive overkill non-full dropin cam. Unless you have supporting mods it is pointless.

Ipd turbo cam is the best bet right now... cheap and same thign as the V15

Hey guys

I have a volvo guy where I live that works on Volvos at his Garage. He is not afiliated with the dealership or their prices. So, how much should it be to have him put in the ipd Turbo Cam and adjustable gear ( I am going to watch/help and learn)? Thanks guys for the information I will put in the order for gear and cam in a few weeks.
