Cams selected, Cat 420's.

[The Seer]

Spoke to Ben R at AngelWorks today.

Opting for Cat 420's as opposed to 428's.

The 420's so I'm told will offer greater low down gains over the O.E.M. cams which is something I feel the 182 lacks.

I liked the idea of the sort of v-tech characteristics of 428's but didn't wish to lose any low down power.

Since the car won't see much track usage the 420's should be more suited to road driving.

Anybody else using them in their 182's? If so a definate pleasing increase of power over standard?

Thanks.

Good choice mate, you wont be dissapointed. 428's would be abit peaky for a town/B road car IMO.....

^ Both Ben R and Paul at RS tuning said this.

You're using the 420's yourself?

Just didn't want to lose any low down torque, which well may occur if 428's are used.

Looking to get the cams, inlets and re-map for late April early May.

Can't wait.

420's eh.


noted for me next year



edit: are you going to keep/ditch the VVT?

 

[reg_the_geza]

how much are the cams? are they a direct replacement for the std cams, ie nothing else has to be changed?

Check Cat Cams, pricelist in euros

runs on OEM everything... though you need to get your inlets matched for maximum profit. Engine will need more air/fuel , uprated airfilter recommended also

I don't think the 420's do away with the VVT though I could be wrong.
