   How can i tell what sort of performance cam i need? There are two listed on the site i am looking at: roller and non roller type. Mines a 2000 saxo vtr and thats pretty much all i know so far....

   cheers buddy, big help!! Its is a grey top yeah. Ive searched the threads but cant find anything about the kent pt40k. Is it worth fitting or is there better value for money out there? Im not too bothered if the idling is affected a bit with a heavier cam. Had a kent fast road cam on my old nova sri and it was a bit lumpy but made a big difference

   go for the newman ph3 id say, just got myself, fitting it sat, probs slightly better pefrormance but the price will be alot better too, also look into an 106 s1 rallye inlet, just fitted 1, then get a remap and it will be alot quciker
