piper cams

[mk1vts1]

hi im really thinking about camming my mk1 vts and unsure were to go from here, ive seen a lot of threads on cams and ive read the thread about cams and all the other engine mods to do, but still unsure. haha!

i really dont know what its best to get, the whole shabang or just the bang.

ive seen the piper cams kit off tweeks for £877

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/camshafts-accessories/car/citroen/saxo-phase-1-vts/piper-cams-performance-camshaft-kit-fast-road-profile

but i honestly think thats a bit much, at the moment its just a road car but i will be going to a few track days in it as well sometime soon so i need a good set up but a reliable one

any advice? links?

thanks!:y::y:

that seems a bit pricey i bought the cat cams 743's from kamracing there 300pound and there the common ones people go for. http://www.kamracing.co.uk/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-engine/camshafts/citroen-saxo-vts-fast-road-camshaft-set-cat-cams-1321743.html

are the pully's not necessary though? and do you NEED a remap?

[slimwiltaz]

not with the cat cams 743's, you can use standard. remap isn't crucial but it is needed for max gains

[mk1vts1]

would you get decent gains on standard with those cams?

[slimwiltaz]

with a remap you will see around 145-150bhp mark

mine came of automarcs rollers at 162.6
