   looking at the vtr kent cams on atspeed, they have one which requires a remap and another which says it will be fine without one - what sort of gains would i be looking at from each one?

   the one that needs a remap will have better gains as it will be a wilder cam. but only if you get it re-mapped...

   i bought a ph3 camshaft off of kamracing, made a fair bit of difference alongside my 4-2-1 straight through system, but would benifit from a remap.
   
   if a vts engine transplant is out of the equation, then get a wild cam, and full exhaust system then a remap. will make for a fairly quick vtr then

   I will be camming my R because I want to do something different to the norm S engined motor. Not after anything mega just to fiddle with the engine!

   Its good to have a fiddle with an engine, if it goes horribly wrong put it down to a learning experience Stick some ITB's on too for some decent gains

   Good man, doesn't matter what engine you put them on they sound evil probably would want a ridiculous cam with bodies.
