Where to buy/which 172 cams?

[shunteruk]

I'm disappointed with the mid range torque in my 172 and I have a 182 manifold at home ready to go on soon.
However a set of cams from K-Tec are expensive, but are they worth it?
Or where else is the best place to get a set of performance cams for my car?
I have an oil leak out of my Rocker Cover anyway so planning on doing the cams whilst the cover is off.
Also would you recommend a sports cat or a decat pipe from K-Tec to go with the 182 manifold?

Thanks
Steve

Oh yea I know all the fitting info on the cat, but K-Tec do a sports cat and a decat to go between the 182 manifold and 172 cat back just wondering which is best overall like sound, power etc

my experience/choice of cams.. I also did the 182 manifold.

the first page shows wrong RR results, further on page 2 they are corrected, the before + after

Anyone else running different cams in their Clios or have any experience or knowledge or any reasonably priced suppliers.

imo the gains with cams on a relatively standard engine are disappointing for the outlay, but if you are going to get them Cat Cams 0428's are a good mile road cam. Avoid the 0420's as they are effectively standard billet cams and offer no real gains.

182 cat won't fit a 172 due to where the 172 exhaust is. See my 182 manifold guide if in doubt.

Whats this "Super Cup" inlet all about then? what makes it different to normal?

Wont get much benefit mid range from cams, their all about maintaining a higher output at a higher rpm range
