   264 duration, 9 mm lift, I've seen them give 157 bhp @ 6900 rpm and 130 lb/ft at 5200 rpm on a JP4 (110 bhp) engine so probably a little less (or more, unsure) on the J4 (120 bhp) engine.
   
   What cams are they?Would they be worth putting in my Vts and apart from remap is there anything else id need to do?

   Ask Google: "400 euros in GBP"
   
   400 Euros = 269.025487 British pounds.

   Good point chaps! For a VTS, £300 is a ballpark figure for a decent set of Catcam's or Piper's...

   Realy, I didnt know that.I got a price over here in Ireland for Ecu(not mapped)and a set of brand new cams iv never heard of, I think they were called 205's or something fitted for €2500.Which I thought was a joke.What would you pay for cams, say catcams and my standard Ecu mapped?Any idea?

    I've already answered you cams question already...
    
    Mapping your standard ECU is somewhat of a black art, and Chipwizards is really the only place I'm aware of. I'm sure there's somewhere in Cheshire too, but they are not as reknowned in the Saxo / 106 genre. Anway, you'd be looking at about £450 for a full map from Chipwizards.

    Nah mate, just wondering what they are,thats all.I wouldnt buy second hand cams and they arent that hard to fit apparently byt I want them done properly and for the remap, Westward engineering do it but its big money.I wouldnt realy trust anyone in Ireland to do a remaps as I dont think they know enough and thats why il be going over to the UK.

    Oh, are you refering to those ones? I didn't realise. I would go for the Catcam 708s anyway chap, they've been proven time after time, and nobody has been disapointed with them.
