    im using piper 270's, have ran them for around 45k now and have been faultless :D ive been very happy with them so have just upgraded to a set of 285's. most people will tell you that a set of cat cam 225's are alot better but belive me they are more less the same. 225's provide a little extra midrange punch where as the 270's pull more topend. i have tested this lots of times against 225 users and its the same result every time :D

    Nothing wrong with Piper cams in an F7. Cat offer a better range of profiles for different uses and are also very good. Whatever you choose, the mapping to go with it will be the big difference

    lol by 120 i was a good cars length in front on both occasions and it stayed that way till the limiter we had the same amount of fuel as we both put a tenner in, yes you had a paasanger but your car weighs a good 60kg lighter and yours missis does'nt look that big so id say evens and i had my 16's on which slows topend performance ( but look good :D ) but dont worry ive tessted against other users aswell and its the same result
