Default 1.8 camshaft in beta2 w/ cvvt?

like the title i know sfr sells 1.8 camshafts to drop into 2.0s for improved timing and i know i've heard of this before, but I'm wondering what your opinions would be of how well that would work out for a beta2 with cvvt, think it would have adverse affects and conflict with the cvvt system?

obviously i'd never buy from sfr, i'd just pull form the junkers but i don't want to go through the work to find it just facks things up if someone on here has any input.

It seems like there is a thing on one of the CVVT camshafts that couldn't be removed and put on the 1.8l cams. Maybe I'm wrong though. I think I've only seen a picture of the CVVT cams one time.

the 1.8 camshafts are hydraulic and the beta II's are mechanical (or vice versa) I know Keyan on EXD has a set of regrinds for sale for the beta II with cvvt. They were from colt cams and he is selling them for mad cheap.

What does the 1.8 cams do for the beta 2 motor and is it the intake or exhaust cam or both? I remember some topic like this on HP but never really got into it.

The cams on the Beta 2 are already more aggressive than the beta 1. Now with the Beta 1 1.8 cam I don't think you can use it, and the goings wouldn't be that great anyways.
