Autotech's kits are extremely old skool in the g60 world, they're like so 20th century. Nothing against them though.

And the g60's valvetrain is way more than durable/light enough to handle the types of aftermarket cams that most people are going to put on them.

Once you get past the typical "mild" cams most people use on a g60 - the types of cams that would require valvetrain upgrades, you're gonna be into a cam with a fair amount of overlap. And overlap on a forced induction engine isn't a good thing, since you're just gonna blow all your boost out the exhaust and loose a lot of low end power for a small gain up top.

So you're basically limited to mild cams, unless you're doing some sort of crazy all out race motor.


ah... thanks for enlightening an old n/a pushrod dinosaur like meself
