Anybody running a Webcam performance cam?

Is anybody running the Webcam performance cam in a 8 valve 944? How does the performance differ from stock? Does it have more top end pull? How does it idle?

Next time my cam housing gasket lets loose I may install one of thses cams.

JME has more grinds available than Webcam. Thanks for the link

So lets expand this to include JME cams. Is anybody here running a cam from either company? If you have on from JME what grind do you have?

There is a fellow with the JME cam on the Rennlist forums. Says he likes it but probably isnt worth the money. The JME cam is probably the best, but is also $750 now. The WebCam is about $300 cheaper. I think someone in my PCA region has a WebCam on his car (i know its cammed, just not sure which)..ill have to ask him about it one of these days.

I installed a JME on one of the 944s I just sold. Is it better than stock...? Yes, is it worth the money... I don't think so. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the Webcam, but there is only so much you can do with a cam grind. With the price, I would give it a shot.

I used the PH 277-14 cam, with a late DME, harness, and Welt. chip.
Don't get me wrong, there was a noticeable difference, but was it worth the $$, I'm not quite sure.
