How would you describe the effects of this cam for around town driving - IE spending a lot of time below 3K RPM?

The 1.6n/a fellow I sold one to says it's basically a winner from around 2300rpm up.
Let's face it though, camshafts are generally meant to improve airflow in the mid to upper rpm range. If you're puttering around most of the time under 3000 rpm, I doubt you'd notice much of a difference.
Having said that, I'm still awaiting fuel economy comparisons for day-to-day driving. I could well improve MPG's. We'll see.

Alright Volks,
The cams are much cheaper to make in batches of 5. I'm sold out now.
Who's up for a cam?

for sure you could. Please follow the same installation recommendations.
Your cam will be sent as soon as this batch comes back from the grinder.
Thanks!

I'm sticking with hydraulic. Can't get any information from the mechanical people out there regarding measurements.

is the 1.5 cam different than the 1.6 mech? I can probably get some measurements on that. dunno if i have an intact 1.6 mech lifter cam, if you jus need cam lobes measured, i could prolly find the old 1.6 cam i snapped and measure them.

i'd expect 1.5L is similar.
What i really need is the relationship between all the measurements listed in the mech. cam post in the IDI section. Single measurements aren't of much use, unfortunately.
