Yeah as far as i know mate the standard cams work fine. I havent changed mine. You planning to upgrade management to standalone? What kit you using?

Standrad cams will be more than okay, a lot of big figures have been reached using them!! Can upgrade to boosted cams if you like, but not really worth it!

Yeah quite nice mate for £500. Not sure about the engine colour coding and that but its all good. Have you got pics of the turbo kit going on.? I got mine remapped by Andy Hammond who supplies the predator ECU's on here. But i got it mapped after fitting one of the ECU's. What management is it you have.?

You can use the standard cams...
