as for cams and things mate i think alot of people use ph3's. dampers im using apex sport ones from kam racing and they are a good price and keep the ride stiff but not uncomfy

Re: Wicked red VTS - Chico999 - Need advice on cams & dampers
Thanks
Newmans PH3's? Do these give power to the midrange?
What sorta prices am i looking at for cams and remap?
Could i fit cams myself?
Is it just a case of taking the rocker cover off, and switching?
Do i need an uprated pully or anything like that?

I bought www.saxperience.com stickers thinking it was a pair 
Decided to stick them on without the www..com parts, i think it looks good
Got my car lowered 55mm at the front today, the torsions are getting done tomorrow to match
What yous think?
