cam durations/profiles

[bigjim]

does anyone know what the profiles are on a standard williams cam? iirc awt cams are 263 profile and pipers are 268 which i think means the pipers have to be revved more to get the best out of them and peak power is higher up the rev range whilst the awt are more mid range. just wondered how they compare to standard. ive decided im definately getting a set of awt cams and verniers this year and getting the cambelt changed at the same time so hopefully i will see some good gains on properly timed in cams over standard but i will have the car r/r before and after at the same garage who will be fitting them for me so that everyone can see exactly what gains are made.

u thought about schrick, crane or cat cams mate??


weigh up all the options before u make ur mind up

[bigjim]

didnt realise there was such a large choice. thought is was only piper/kent and awt. so where can i get more info on the others? ive heard of shrick thought they were vw specialists.

[VIPERONE]

avoid Kent though from what others have hadd happen

[bigjim]

any links to cat cams? anyone know anyone whos got them in a willy?

[u33db]

www.catcams.be is the link you're after...IIRC stan* runs these in his TB'd engine...i've also bought one recently and the quality is as good as piper etc...maybe more so.

Fitting...you're in Scotland so try give Chris H as go off here...

think im going to go with benr and awt cams. ive spoken to him and judging by other peoples posts on here and cliosport he is very highly rated.

[stew]

Chris_H is equally highly rated by people in scotland. His headwork is v v good! I saw a 1.8 16v head he did recently for doc off Retro Reno and was impressed! Takes a pride in his work and is v reasonably priced. If you can be rased going down to Ben R @ AWT then fair play, but a 40min trip to glasgow is much much easier!

Chris_H is who i am going to for my engine work next year!

[bigjim]

im not going to go down there mate ill just get him to post them to me
