    yes.... 20-30 bhp without timing or remap sounds a bit dodge though? Speak up Ben...

    thats what i was thinking but thats what he said. 20bhp worst case scenario. how long does it take to fit cams at a professional garage roughly?

    Cams = 10 to 15 BHP, unless you go really wild and then the car wont idle properly.
