My 1.9 cam is fine condition wise, so will I see a worthwhile improvement if I fit the Cat Cams shaft?

 

I'd say not much to justify the expense of the aftermarket performance cam .

 

Ideally if there's some other engine mods like , ported head , better inlet/exhaust , lightened balanced bottom end , higher compression ratio ... then add to that performance cam it'll work very well as an package and will certainly be noticeable difference .

 

Engine mods are best done in pair of a few in the same time , like 3 things/mods in a row .

Finally , found 115Hp 1.6 B6D cam (actually found a few from 1.6 rebuild threads , all with this the same single paint mark) :
