Yeah, the whole camshaft thing really is dependant on finding someone with the same engine who's tried them. The only ones I can vouch for are Schrick and Neuspeed camshafts for the VW Golf. The Schrick 268 and 272 degree shafts are pretty good.
As for the VR-4, right now, just waiting for the tranny shop to finish putting my tranny back together and then I'm all set! The engine's prety much all back together now, just waiting for me to bolt on the tranny and put it all back in. Then it's all a matter of self-discipline and control as I wait for the 500 mile break-in period to roll by.
