what cams are available without a remap, and what performance gains are there.

Yes but you will never see the full potential of a cam without a proper remap by a specialist.

Catcams make one for the vtr which doesnt need any internal mods or a re-map and you will see a gain.

They also make one that doesnt need and internal mods but would require a map to run properly and surely this is the one to buy as you will see a far better result without having to modify everything else inside your engine. Will cost for a map but think of the benefit from spending a few hundred extra.

Kent cam PT30 and PT40 will run well on the standard map.

almost not worth spending the money if there is no plans for remapping
