   Anyone know much about them?
   
   People tend to opt for Cat Cams 708's or Pt51's I was just wondering why there not so common?
   
   Cheers

   dont you have to rebate the pistons and do a whole load of other shit to fit them?
   
   i'm sure i've seen bullit or campdavid say that in another thread

   think he means pocket them so that they dont hit the valve never heard of it with those an standard pistons.
   As for the cam go with 708's cheaper an just as good mate then a remap!!

   If all goes well I'll win some catcams on a well known auction site but just keeping my options open as there are some pt52's for sale on SSC.
   
   Pt52's sound abit of a nightmare.

   £340 from Qep hence why I've put a lowish bid on Ebay to see if I can sneek em but I got my doubts they'll probably go for more than QEP sell em for.
   
   No doubt Bullit and Dave will give there views when they see this thread.

    steve there not so common as theres more work involved, you also want the followers to go with them and uprated valve springs.
    
    pocket pistons-the higher the lift on you cam the futher the valves are pushed down, if the valves are pushed down so far they hit the piston crowns. so being machined to pockets it wont happen. other option is forgies

    maybe because they are more aggresive cams, the idle is lumpier? and not good for day 2 day use?

    Cheers Bullit I'll stick with the usual options as Forgies would pay for the remap.
