hi everyone. does anybody know the cheapest place to get a piper or kent cam kit?
looking for a cam that will give me the most bhp without having to raise the head i think you can get a 10, 12, 14 & 16 bhp increase cam. i think about a 270 degree would be about right
but i dont know a lot about them and which one is the best to get. can anyone help me plz
sorry if iv made myself sound thick with this post!
cheers

you won't get near a 10bhp increase with just a cam on it's own mate. you're best to have some headwork done and then a remap to get the most out of a cam. which cam you get depends on how you want the car to drive ie more low end/mid range but less top end, increased mid and top end but compromised low end etc etc

o rite .that must be the increase after a remap then or somethin. i just got those bhp increases of the piper and kent websites. when you say head work what exactly do you mean buddy?
i will be getting a remap after the cam is fitted anyway also do you think its best to get a kit or just the cam?
is it common for the followers to be too worn for just a cam replacement?
cheers

dont forget about QEP, they can do cams and also do headwork, done really well on Andy Deas head.
If a cam manufacturer said you would only get a 5bhp increase or 15 or so when you remap and get headwork, do you think they would sell well?
