cams

[pacer]

what would be the best cams to go for in my gtst?

and wat degrees should i go for?

im aiming for 450bhp

[Spearmint]

Tomei pon cams are the way forward!

[Kez]

yes i have got some to go in mine, they are about £350 - 400 if i remember rightly from nengun

[B&Q]

someone might disagree with me but unless you are going huge hp I don't see a lot of good reasons to change the exhaust cam as you won't get much benefit, so personally I'd just replace the inlet cam. Should be cheaper if you can buy them separately.

but like I say someone may disagree with me!

as im having a rebuild too, are you saying it wouldnt be worth me doing it? I like the lumpy idle

[Spearmint]

The tomei's I have are only a little more aggressive than stock. If you went for the same you'll generally find a bit more low down / mid range torque (Turbo will spool up a bit quicker) with hardly any loss at the top end of things.

[Trev]

What turbo are you running nowadays then?

[pacer]

i have a stage one hybrid which should be good for 450bhp. i was thinking going for 280 degree cams will be a bit lumpy on idle but good mid and top range. plus lumpy idle sounds good. wont sound like a ice cream van then

[Trev]

wont sound like a ice cream van then

Nope, but with your "sounds" that you have in the boot I`m sure you can play the Ice Cream tunes rather loud

[pacer]

haha yeh i do love my sounds

[pacer]

so should i get the 280

i have emailed nengun but have not yet had a reply and its been almost a week

[Hi5]

hrm, i was thinking of getting the 256's, waiting for greenline to reply

280's will require lots of work on the head, have you looked into what is required ?

[pacer]

and the moment the head is off being ported polished and gas flowed

[Spearmint]

The work required I would imagine relates to engineering the head for them to actually fit. I've around 425ath and I use the 256's. They go straight in.
