So I've done a number of performance mods to my 940 turbo over the years and now I think I want to put in a better performing cam as I still have the stock one. I want one that would work best with the mods I've done to the car as well as will work well in the future if I decide on going with an even bigger turbo than I currently have. My mods are as follows:
Angled flange 16t currently at 15psi (I haven't gone to 20psi yet)
3 inch angled flange downpipe with no exhaust currently
Bigger 012 maf with a 3inch intake pipe I made and an AEM dry flow filter
Volvo blue 395cc injectors
TLAO ignition and fuel chips
Aftermarket transmission cooler
AW71 accumulator mod
So that the basic list of what I've done so far. I want a cam that's going to give me more power but I'd also like a more aggressive lopey idle. I've been looking at the obvious IPD turbo cam but have also run across old posts saying the Kg2T cam is very good too so I'm looking for opinions on both as well as any other cams that may even be better. I was also curious on three things:
First: do I need to worry about shimming after I install a different cam? I've read a lot of posts but people rarely talk about it and it doesn't seem like it's really needed from what I've read so far
Second: Do I need to get an adjustable cam gear? I've read about people advancing or retarding timing with them but I've seen a lot more posts saying they don't really use them.
Third: Does installing a performance cam make the engine interference? I've read conflicting things on that.
So yeah that's basically it, I'm hoping I can get some helpful insight so I can make up my mind. Thanks everyone.
