Since I have the stock Mahle P/C's (new) I used the SC/330 cam grind. I timed the cams in the middle of the specified range. Deck height was measured at 1.3-1.4 mm Power surges on at around 3500r.p.m. and pulls without flattening to 6000r.p.m. My engine prior to the rebuild was out of breath at around 5500. I'm also running a colder plug from stock.
I boat tailed the webs too.
I think Dave at Elgin and Dema both said that this cam gave about 10 more horse power to the wheels. It was nicknamed "The Cheater Cam".
I have yet to dyno the car. I don't know what I had before the rebuild. The next two mods I make will be a Euro pre muffler and modify one of my 2 mufflers to dual outlet. Then I'll dyno it.
I have lost 2 mpg in fuel efficiency.
I did not realize the acceleration difference until a friend of mine drove it and I sat in the passenger seat. I definately had to strain my neck and back when the cam came on. He felt it too.
In hindsight I have no regrets at all. It's much more fun and different to drive.
