Right, I know what they come on, but finding one of those in a boneyard is HUGE.

Would 98-2000 V70/S70 n/a cams be the same as the 850's?

Maybe the 98's but not 99 or 2000's.
The 99 and 00 have VVT pulleys.

Wow Tech that was quick! lol. I'm thinking of calling around to some junkyards to find a set. I saw a set on Ebay for like 80 bux, is that what I can expect to pay?

I hear the 93's are the best. But any year 850 N/A cams should work fine.

Keep in mind your 2000 C70 has VVT so the older post suggestions on NA cams doesn't directly apply.

If you want to put in aftermarket cams, check out

Performance Camshafts, Volvo - ViVA Performance

and look for the specs on the 2000s with VVT.

With that said - adding a cam to a turbo engine is a long hard way to get some performance gain. Simpler route is to add a bigger turbo (ie 18T), bigger injectors, 3 inch downpipe/free flow cat and get a quality ECU tune. Those mods will put you around 300+ HP, enough to make you wish for a manual transmission and a limited slip differential. In order I'd do the tune, turbo, injectors, downpipe, cat...
