    depends which vtr engin its for

    there are 2 types
    roller and non roller

    2000 is changeover year so you could have either engine in your car

    well if you drop that in youll be wanting a remap
    it will run unmapped but will be lumpy
    also youll be needing an adjustable vernier pulley to get the timing correct

    but it would mate a vtr very nippy
    also cammed stuff will make a nice note

    im asuming youv allready got induction a manifold n a good exhaust on there
    if not camming it is pointless

    The cam in that link is a mild one which doesn't need a re-map. For the money it costs, might as well give it a try mate - tempted to drop one into mine.

    i didnt look at the profile thoight the pt40 was eqivalent to a ph3 style cam

    much less than a ph3 is pointless imo

    ive seen quite a few vtrs done properly that can beat a vts

    then youll love the vtr for that fact

    i can agree with that but im not looking to spend loads and loads, breathing, cams remap, stripped out and that will do mean for the time being, so for this only the vts will probs be better for me you think?
