Ph3's cams
Can I run ph3's in my vts with standard internals and ecu? All I have done is exhaust system atm. Cheers.

Yeah but it won't idle well and won't get the most from the cams. Id rather get ph1 or ph2's if not remapping.

I'd just wait and do the bodies, cams and ecu remap all together at once mate

save up for a bit longer then!
as said, it'll idle like dog shit, cut out and generally piss you off.
dibs on cams if you get fed up and sell up

best value for new cams are our cam
£200+vat+£240
yes a stand alone or remap is advised ,but if you adjust ex cam timing until it idles best + fit 4.5bar fuel reg it would be ok ,not perfect but ok.
this is on the assumption that it idles well now ,and you have no other bad running issues at present--if you do then you should be addressing this first before any cam change
