I've always wondered about the tuning performed on these cars by Modena in Germany. They alter the timing of the intake cams to get more HP - but when asked they will not disclose details. Understandably. Does any of you know more details ? How many degrees have the cam setting been altered ?

Thanks,
Arvid

No idea, although I understand that for the Ghibli you can set up the 2.8 to similar settings to the cup for more performance. I guess that doesn't really help you...

Rich - That might be :)

It's not that this is a modification I am going to perform but it would be very interesting to know what they actually did. It would be fun to copy when changing the cam chain if it's something that is fairly easy to alter. I talked to a Maserati mechanic once and he said the Modena Power Pack 1 is good for 418HP on a 3.2 Evo which includes altering ECU,new exhaust and better airflow. Without altering the intake cams it would give about 20-30HP less.
