   Your best bet is to go onto newman cams i think it is, they have a catalog that tells you there. What model is your VTR?

   Silver tops are roller IIRC.

   As far as i am aware, the acutal fiting of the cam is easy although its the timing and things like that, that will need to be done by a pro?

   Right, while were on the subject.... im new to this french car malarky... im on a ph1 99 (T) VTR (with a silver top... is this right while im on the subject) and i was wondering whether a remap is essential if i bung a cam in her? basically im not after swapping motors (yet) so im looking to get the most out of my VTR motor without going silly (TB's etc...) so is a remap/chip essential?
   
   Thanks - Matt
