   hey,
   
   Iv looked on the forum for questions but havent found any.
   Basically im going to get a vtr soon and im going to get high lift cams
   (hopefully) as im fed up with a 1.1 106 = @
   
   I just wanted to know what cams would suit everyday driving. also what other mod will i have to do in order to get the max outta the cams. in know about manifold and the induction side of it.
   The cams wont be a sudden thing once i get the car as i wont have the money. not worried about paying someone as i can do it myself..
   
   Cheers

   Ideally to get the best out of them you'll need a standalone engine managment system or at least a remap.
   
   Im sure you'll get a lot of people telling you this, but imo its pointless camming a vtr, you'll only get it to about standard vts power. Why not just buy a vts?

   thanks for the input
   
   How much do remaps cost ?
   Im happy with that, im not wanting loads of power just looking to mod something worth modding, i would get a vts if it wasnt for the stupid insurance companies wanting thousands.
   
   Also what insurance companies do you recommend ?
   
   Cheers

   Catcams 708's
   Kent Pt51's
   Piper 285's
   Newmans Ph3's
   
   All the most popular cams for every day fast road use.
   
   Brentacre is the best insurance company imo.

   Im 22 with a vts and i pay 450ish tpft on a 130bhp limit
   
   so probably add another 100 for another 20bhp or something?
   
   Brand new cams for a vts your looking at around the 300 mark, probably about the same for a remap. Best off with a standalone ecu like a predator they're around 5-600 i think.
   
   I've just bought a set of regrinds for 180, and i'm fitting them this weekend and running without a remap. Lets hope all goes well

   I Got a receipt for a remap with my vts, it cost 500 quid. You could probably get one a Fair bit cheaper that that that. Also, you cant get a predator for a 8v yet iirc

   Cam's=more than 1.
   
   The Vtr only has 1 cam.
