vts/gti ph1 cam choice? modified engine

22nd August 2008, 16:28

i got a gti engine, with 4-1 manifold, exhaust system and throttle bodies mapped on a emerald ecu.

running 147 bhp.

now i want some cams which will give me alot of power, i know the 708's or ph3 newman cams would be good choice.

but what about 808's?? (that a cam) or a more wilder cam to get that little bit more out of the engine.

it doesn't matter if i need uprated parts as i plan to get the head worked on to get every bit of power out of her.

let me know what you'd choose

cheers

Lol just a bit of difference.

If you just want a set of cams without going high comps/solid lifters then 708s have seen near 170bhp with bodies.

If you got the cash then you can fit high comp pistons (£500) with catcam 734s, you keep hydraulic lifters but can still see 180bhp, with a qep head (£1000) 190bhp may be possible.

If you have a spare 4-5k you could go for H section forged rods, high comps, awesome head, solid lifters, mental cams and push the 200bhp barrier.

Just remember your going need to a half decent box with what ever you go for. Quaife ones go for about £3300 i think
