don't need to take head off

standard springs are okay (recommended to replace the followers with new ones)

loads of people have fitted them

how much bhp would you gain with fast road cat cams?

urm, with good other mods, filter exhaust - around 150bhp give or take a few.

Would ideally need it remapped to sort the fueling out. People have had some good results by just timing them in properly.

I've nearly 150 at the moment so what do you think I would gain if I got her cammed and remapped?

Mega optimistic figures for a breathed VTS mate. Where did you put it on the rollers?

AI autosport in randlestown. she was in there before I bought her but I have the printout and all. shes chipped and remapped too. I'd well believe she's that because she blows vti's clean off the road!

The Catcams 708 is one of the best profiles for normal road saxos at the present time. It gives a good bit more power without making the car undrivable day to day.
The price is reduced too which is rather good :D

On stock cams, with stock throttle body and stock head, it's *not* making150bhp.
