GT cams and Prima racing cams

[Ph1 Tom]

I finally got a reply from Prima racing as to what their cam specs are. It turns out they are identical to the GT cams but only £295!!

272 degrees inlet with 11.3mm lift and 256 degrees exhaust with 10.25mm lift.

I believe they give a similar result to the Catcams 428?

Regrinds?

 

[Fred@BTM]

LOL GT will be over the moon when i tell them that!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Regrinds?

No they are new blanks

 

[Ph1 Tom]

LOL GT will be over the moon when i tell them that!

I bet they will!

 

[Fred@BTM]

just checked and that's a diferent spec to the GT's i hae sat infront of me LOL, the plot thickens!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I was going off the spec of the GT cams on eBay.

They are the same as the Catcams 428 which are 272/256 and 11.3/10.25 too

 

[Fred@BTM]

just checked the ebay link and the spec's on the GT's aren't correct, they've been mixed up

LOL GT will be over the moon when i tell them that!

they ripped off 428s anyway.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Well now there's an even cheaper version!

 

[Dan519]

Well now there's an even cheaper version!

Lol wouldn't use them to be honest. Too little difference

 

[MartinR]

Over standard?

 

[Dan519]

Over standard?

Yes. To all intents and purpose 428 exhaust can is standard

Sorry to revive this old thread.
but was looking at these cams myself.
now I am clueless with this sorta stuff.
what gains am I likely to get with these? £300 seems to me a really good price?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Not sure what gains the catcams 428 give (I think 10bhp has been claimed before now). You'll need a remap afterwards to make the most of them too.

I'm running Piper cams in mine as its only another £20 for a more aggressive set of cams.

 

[allanmcm]

You have a link of where to get them?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Speak to Dan at 519 Automotive in the trader section (phone him) he's a Piper cams dealer

 

[allanmcm]

Can't seem to find 519 in trader section ? I'm sure it was there the other day

 

[Ph1 Tom]

They were yesterday. Just Google 519 automotive.

 

[allanmcm]

Thinking I'll go for piper cams. Anyone else got opinions on these?

 

[cliokid182]

Why wouldn't you get 438's??

 

[Fred@BTM]

^over priced 421's

 

[cliokid182]

The price between them isn't worlds apart and the gains you get from the 438's are better than the 428's from all the graphs I've seen on here so I can't get my head around why if you were goin to fit cams why anyone would buy the 428's.

 

[allanmcm]

There was a thread on here where someone was getting better results from piper cams than 428s and piper cams are only £300

 

[Dan519]

^over priced 421's

Odd claim. Price is identical

 

[Fred@BTM]

not to the trade it isn't

 

[Cupman29]

Don't think cliokid is in the trade but could be wrong.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm referring to the discount us traders (some people class it as profit margin ) pass on to the customer

 

[allanmcm]

What cams would the you's recommend for round the £300 price
