   What car you got ?
   Looking at your profile a VTR, they have just one cam..
   Depends what you want though max power or a mild runner.

    cams were 300, pump, belt and cam seals came to about 80pound then it cost 120 to get it all fitted, then its the map which iv'e been quoted 300+ VAT. its not to bad without a map but will need one tho to get the best out of them!

    haha well you could just split it up get the gear first, then fitted when your paid, then a map on next pay day, there's usually a 6 weeks waiting list any way for mapping depending where you go that is.

    Camming a VTR is worth it, you'll get a nice idle from an 8V and once mapped you'll see gains but you are better off doing more than just a new cam shaft if you want to see more gains from your remap.
