I have one of these in the shop at the moment. If I can get caught up on my work, I will be in the new shop in less than 2 weeks and have our new dyno setup and actually be able to get you some numbers.
Price? I have a goal to stay under $599 with the springs included, I initially wanted to do just the cam, but I really think the new springs are needed which is the reason for the higher price. Timeline is 1 to 4 months. If I can get 20 people to send in their cams minus the bearing, I will do a short run of test cams for $350 a pop for 885,887,913, or 911 cams and $550 for all of the rest.
How does it compare to a 160 or 175? I have never analyzed one as they have so many flaws. They are both cams, but that is about the extent of the similarities.
4cyl, not likely to happen in a new blank. If there is enough interest, I can do a run of re-grinds if people will give me a pass for breaking my "no re-ground, used cam" policy. I have had to touch up some already ground cams in the past, but usually shy away from re-grinding used cams unless there is no other option like these pump cams.
