angelworks or awt as they are known, pm ben r on here he has specially designed cams for the williams and pulleys which are meant to be very good, thejesus on here is running them and rates them very highly. others to consider are catcams and piper, stay well clear of kent cams and especially there pulleys due to loads of failures with them on here causing major engine damage. cheers.

They break they break, I could go certain other tuners and get my car jacked up on the sump, or even get it back on a trailer, or maybe even get it back slower that it was before it went in, mentioning no names...lol

At least my Cams made the car faster ;)

yep stay as far away from kent cams stuff as u possibly can




schrick, crane, piper, catcams are probly ur best bets....if u want the pullies this century anyway



kent cams stuff does work......till it breaks..which is quite a regular occurrence

Get AWT cams imo, had mine in almost a year and no problems and performance is great from them.

well the pulleys dont even look similar and the left and duration are different to anything listed on their site... either way, doesn't bother me in the slightest, I bought them as AWT so that's what they are, it's not like I could phone them up and get the exact same spec, as I dont have a clue about designing cams

hehe although my car has broken at 2 of the 3 trackdays I've been to so maybe cams won't make it any more unreliable!...
