this is the lad...

its a very mild cam mate, its recomended that you uprate the valve springs also... but springs from a blacktop engine are fine to use as there stiffer then the later models...BUT this is not essential...

hope this helps

266degree duration - I think it would benefit a lot by getting remapped. Timed up properly it might run okay.

What this man said. Idles and runs fine unmapped apparently, but remapping will yield better results. Should be able to confirm the above in about 3 weeks time.

iw_laurence has just fitted the Cat Cam equivalent to his VTR and it looks to run really well - some videos here.

sweet well ill buy it and fit it just got to find someone in the bristol/southwest area to remap it

Just make sure it's definitely the black top version of the cam bud.

Can confirm a 266 will run fine without a map, obviously you'd get more from it (slightly) with a map, but it'll run fine, idle fine etc without one. Good mate of mine had a 1.4 with a PT40 in, kept up with VTRs quite happily, even unmapped, and i've just sold one that I was gonna put in mine too.

Were uprated valve springs used mate or just standard items?

Standard springs. Standard everything, except it had VTR injectors and inlet, so more fuel and air. But it'll run fine on an otherwise standard VTR.
