Default What kind of cams are out there for the 40V?

I know that this probably should go in the 4.2L forums, but I wanted to see if anyone with an A8 has tried any cams at all.

Thanks!

Default Reason I ask....

... is because I know that the original 3.6 V8 was just 2 VW 1.8s combined. It made me wonder if the 40V heads were similar enough to the 1.8T 20V heads and if any company fooled around with the 40V.

I can't seem to get the cam specs on either the A8 or S8 engine. Anyone know them?
