   A couple of people ran them. They ran better with 708s.

   quite a mild cam really.. probably wouldnt need a remap to run ok. but obviously remap would be needed to get most out of them.

   just so people are aware, and this may or may not be related to the 195bhp person.
   
   the profiles for different camshafts for different engines are not the same.
   
   my "734's" for the c2 head came as 715's
   
   its all down to which profile is manufactured by catcams first, as to what number theyre given
   
   (i think thats what matt @ qep told me)
