Cam or no Cam?
Cam or no Cam?
OK guys it's been a while since I posted. I need some advice.
When I bought my car it had all the components I have listed below. What I would like to know is, how can I tell if I have a cam or not. I still have not been able to get in touch with the guy that had the car before me because he is still in IRAQ. I don't want to pull the car apart to find out. The car Idles rough but does not have any mis-firing and pulls strong up to about 130 then starts to slow a little. I have a new opti, water pump and O2's. The car has no headers or cats.
The reason I ask is, this morning, I took on a 92 formula T/A GTA with headers LT4 hot cam kit flow master catback CAI and all bolt ons and A4. We were side by up to I hit 4th then I pulled over a cars length on him and was still pulling at 125 when I started to back off.
He should have taken me since I am mostly stock. What do you all think?:

What else is done to your car again? I think you forgot your sig.
Anyway I would say you have a really strong running car. I'll bet you have some kind of mild cam in yours, or he doesnt have the mods he says.

Sorry but something must be wrong, When I vew the post I see the SIG. But here is what I have.

You can try pull one of the valve covers off and taking a gander. If there's aftermarket springs and rockers on there he very well may have throwin a mild cam in there or just put 1.6 rockers on but it would give you at least a hint of whether or not it's been changed.
