   just another quick question why is the roller type cam kit 215 quid but the non roller is 399. why such a big difference in price, got them prices from larkspeed.com

    id have a piper 285. the numbers are just the models, each differing in lift duration etc. not enough aggressive profile and the gains may not be great, too aggresive then other changes need making
    
    google cams or read the cam stickys on here
