    ive looked into it, got rough prices and what i would need

    at the moment im just going for cams, the fact i dont use the car too much i cant justify spending that much on it in one go

    your best idea is go cams and standolone then you have the option of fitting bodies, headwork etc at a later date.

    id still go standolone then you do have the option which you may want later, also you can sell it if wanted to split car.

    The whole point of t/b's is so u can run wild cams so a basic t/b set-up would be

    t/bs
    cams
    standalone ie kms

    that would prob be about 1800 or more then theres mapping an fitting an dont for get little things that all cost money.

    Then there a big set-up like mine

    all of the above plus

    headwork
    highcomps
    an even bigger cams

    then if u want more u can go even bigger cams then your on to solid lifters etc

    I was thinking of going for some TB's in a little while. I'm currently using 708's. Can you get away with some higher duration cams on a 106 without any specifics. I was thinking the clearance might be an issue...

    715s i think daveP ran on RR with 16v tbs, does hill climbing, went back to 708s because power was better with them...

    alot of people want to dive into TBs without thinking about it!!

    the TU engines respond very well with just TBs .. don't always have to fit wild cams...

    Reduces charge robbing and many other benefits over the standard setup

    you would be better off getting standalone and cams first mate then you will have the base for more modding in the futre.

    standard ecu remap is around top end of 400squid at chipwizards (best place). you may as well get standalone kms and have that set to run the cams, then a little tweek when you get tbs etc, would make sence in the long run and probs work out cheaper DO IT lol

    john from GMC, in previous ssc threads, says they dont do anything on a standard engine.
