    when you say best do you mean race spec with a full engine build needed to make them work properly?

    This should be in the engine section really..

    I would say the wildest to go for would be the piper 285..Or an equivelent cam to that spec..Much more and you may have to upgrade other parts..

    No, no and ...........

    no funnily enough.

    An aftermarket air filter and exhaust system will not make your car quicker than a VTS. And you don't want to re-map the engine management after installing those items alone.

    Piper 285 cams are NOT a 285 profile cam btw! They are similar profile to the
    Catcam 708s, a 270 profile cam.

    I think the piper 300s are around 285 or something. Daft really.

    Catcams and the pipers are very similar I hear, but the catcams are cheaper.
    Not heard much about the Kent ones.

    I think all 3 are the same duration of 262... ? Possibly... I don't know their exact lift, but again, they will be very close.

    Your mate needs to take his car to a rolling road where they give real BHP figures, and not pie in the sky ones. Fair enough, my previous comment was with regard to just and air filter and and exhaust system. Obviously if you are going to replace the cams, then a re-map should be carried out. There's a good chance you would get to a similar BHP of a VTS, but no way 20 BHP more than a standard VTS! {shakes head}

    I agree with that.Any thing over and you are going to have to change other parts.

    anything over a '285' profile cam on the TU engine and you need to sort out the induction side.
