Im not looking at buying it btw just came across it, they state 200 bhp after you've installed it, hmmm i highly doubt it

Being that most standard 1*2 engines put out around 150-160bhp, there's no way on this earth a set of cams will give you 200bhp.

And I bet people do buy it aswell

So theyre claiming the cams will give a 172, 30 to 35 bhp? interesting. Nothing else listed will give no gains?

I know im going to buy a set quite soon. so them with matched inlets, nice headwork, exhaust and filter combined with a map shoud see me get 215 to 220 atleast? i strongly doubt that.

Iv seen a few people on here run the cams.

I know how will a waterpump and cambelt improve bhp ?? lol dont understand it at all , im sure people just pluck those figures out of thin air

 

[Budgie]

PMSL. A fresh cambelt and waterpump won't improve BHP. I've heard it said before that timing will have slipped slightly or loosened over 5 or so years of an engine being run, so when retimed up with a new belt etc, it should be bang on again. That'll help, but it's still really optimistic to expect 200bhp from just cams.

 

[Iceberg_172]

Lol maybe special bearings in the waterpump for less drag and a lightweight, thinner cambelt!

It's just good practice to replace the belts when you have them off to fit the cams. Only pikeys reuse belts.
