Just looking at prices of camshafts for the 1*2 and there seems to be such a huge variation in price and they're all from blanks so no re grinds....why?

What about Newman for example?
But my point is they're all producing "the same thing" essentially, there's no difference like there is between a Mini and a Ferrari, so are some companies just taking liberties?
Discounted 1*2 parts
how much do piper charge to regrind cams?
Anyone have experience with pipers?

Erm tough one to call really
Raceland and Bilstein are essentially "the same thing" too
one has masses of R&D behind it, the other doesn't (slightly extreme example, but its to make a point)
look at Schrick cams for example, for the clio they're around £900 (which i believe is the most expensive cams you can get for the clio). Schrick the actuall company have a HUGE R&D department, they make cams for the F1 boys, most of the veyron engine etc etc

are you paing for the name? not really, you're paying for the quality of the products
is expensive the best? not always, but you pays your monies, you make your choice!

about £350 from memory
some have seen decent results from them, i'm not a huge fan, buts that's just me being me LOL
I feel the same about regrinding. I don´t think regrind is a wise thing to do, you pill out some of the surface hardness much needed for durability and reliability, with this in mind there isn´t much material left for reshaping properly. I.E. how will you give them more lifting or duration where it already has less material? I wouldn't bother TBH
So how about going to Newman where a set of cams are £350 + vat and getting them to make some to a profile we know for a group buy?

In what way?
What is the address for V6 land?
No worries.....as you say, worth a phone call to Newman, with your knowledge, what cam we looking at...421?
On another note, can you quote for a group buy on Whiteline ARB's please?
Help me out here, what do you like and why?
I'll just bugger off then and continue scratching my head about what tyres to get.
Not sure at the moment, no decisions made yet, can't/haven't yet decided on tyres.....I like to make a well judged/informed decision.
Had a 182 cup then a cup race car, now a Ph1 with some KW V2's to go on shortly. Couldn't bear driving a tow car every day plus on a track day you want the odd tussle with other cars not just blasting off into the distance, you don't have anymore fun in a race car, you just have faster fun!

I want that car so much
Now resides in Guernsey.
Their a bit lumpy on idle but fantastic power. 175lb/ft of torque in conjunction with other mods inc headwork
Think il probably end up ditching the 428's and go back to them

Abit tappy as well iirc?
lift number 1 @ btm
The main issue there is that the person who fitted them did so without any timing data. Newman will sell you the cams, but they aren't v6 specific.
The other question I suppose is how the power graphs were produced?
Otherwise, I've always heard good things about Newman.
No they were fine. Sure it was the first batches that had issues
