Need a new cam

mattg

Hi All

I have done the cam chain but I noticed I only have half a lobe on No2 inlet. Looks like I need a new cam. I might use this opportunity to put in something with a little more grunt. Any suggestions where I could get a new cam or a regrind?

I may as well replace both cams incase the exhaust side is about to let go as well. When I do the cams is there anything else I should do at the same time?

Can I fit Saab cams and if so do they give more power?

Cheers

Matt

I have both OE and saab cams if you need a set.

what is the benefit of the saab above the OE if any? would I benefit from a regrind or should I get 2 billit Cams als is there much benefit from modded cams if that is the only mod to the engine?
can I change to a metal Rocker cover?

ooh that aint good theres some pipers on here for £260

mattg

what are pipers and what do they do for me?

pipers i could be wrong are re grinds of your standard cam giving you more bhp :wave:

If I put in the pipers do I need any other mods to take advantage of the increased power like the exhaust and ECU remap or will I benefit from just the Cams. also without any other mods what sort of power increase can I expect?

Cheers
