Subject:What is the average 0 to 60MPH Syncro times?
From:David Marshall

I've been doing a little tinkering with my Syncro's 2.0L I4 engine.
Currently in "stock" form I can get 0 to 60MPH in 20 seconds.  This is done
via:

- Stock Volkswagen Hydrolic lifter cam
- 8 BTDC ignition timing @ 950 RPM
- 205 S distributor with 86 GTI timing map
- 1.5% CO
- 27" tires installed

It's been so long that I have driven a boxer I was wondering if this is
much faster than stock.

Tomorrow I will try two cams in there, a 266 degree and a 268 degree...
results will follow.
