stock cams good?

[B-R3N]

so i have read that lots of ppl do mismatch stock cams since different years and models came with different cams as far as duration and lift...

does anyone know what the ideal combo is?

i have 2 sets of cams

numbers on 1 set are



Intake Cam
11 07
8 R2

Exhaust Cam
11 07
8 R1

(above cams are from a 90 TSI i believe)

numbers on the set that were in the car when i purchased it, and i know this is already a mismatch set, i just dont know if its the best one to have

Intake Cam
0 R8
04 07

Exhaust Cam
0 RC
13 07

(not sure what year or model these came out of)

thanks for any help

Theoretically 1g cams are more agressive but your not going to notice any difference

--1990-1992 turbo 5speed cams: 244 ex, 252 in
--1990-1994 turbo auto: 244 ex, 244 in
--1990-1994 n/t: 244 ex, 252 in; intake cam is advanced about 5 degrees vs. the 1990-1992 turbo 5speed, 1993-1994 turbo manual and 1995-1999
--1993-1994turbo 5pseed: 252 ex, 252 in; the intake cams have .05ish more total lift than all the other intake cams but the exhaust cam has the same lift as 1995-1999 cams
--1995-1999 all trannies: 252 ex, 252 in; same peak lift on both sides as 1990-1992 turbo 5speed, and all auto & n/t cams

yeah but each cam has different number on the camshaft itself... do you know those numbers by chance?
