   much as I like the piper cams (i've used them in a few cars including 2 of my own) Catcams has a better range of profiles and I'll be using them for the future.
   
   You can get good gains out of fitting cams though.

   Thats because you only have 1 camshaft..VTS's have 2, so a bigger price..
