    Has anyone installed the IPD performance cam on a 940 nonturbo and was it worth
    it?
    My old 740 turbo had so much more power I wish I could do something to this 940
    to squeeze out a bit more from it...

    Short of putting in a turbo motor, don't waste your time/money. Bolt on
    performance gains are small/few. You have to do mods to the intake, AFM,
    ECU, exhaust, etc.. to realize the maximum potential of a cam swap.

    If you've driven a turbo then you'll probably be dissapointed, but a
    performance camshaft can add quite a bit, though any cam is a
    compromise. If you're in the US where 940s all have slushboxes then
    there's not much point though, you need a manual gearbox to really take
    advantage of the increased high end power of the VX or K cam. There's a
    disadvantage too in that it kills low end torque somewhat.
