    best cams are the ones which best meet the other items in your spec.

    and fit in with whatever you intend the car to be used for.

    fitting wild cams in an otherwise standard spec is a complete waste.

    whats the spec to date.

    ...and these are what I'd recomend, they are perfect on stock managment and valve gear.

    This isnt a sales pitch btw, as I know how tight he is...he'll spend the next 6 months trying to find some 2nd hand for £100 less than retail

    Craig, are they made from blanks or re-grinds?
    The engine is Standard, with the 270's in my old engine it made 172bhp Dans with the 280's made 184iirc

    How much are they Stan? dont need pully's or fitting.

    none of the Catcams range are regrinds....

    These ones are from chill-cast blanks.

    They are £450, £10 p&p.
