What cams where in the nana & 2lives mate?
I've alraedy got the cams and pulleys, so i'll get em fitted and a remap, ( once i've got some spare cash, probably after xmas ) and i'll have some comparison tests before and after, if not up the 1/4 mile then, car for car.

not to sure if they do much as i went from a std 1.8 to cammed 2.0l, never driven a std 2.0 but martin always passes me on track/ 1/4 mile, reckon its got something to do with his car being on an extreme diet
got a speedo vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6QhaStiyCo seem any quicker than std?
2 live had probs with a Kent cam locater lobe snapping and wedging itself into the head...
Piper are good on the whole. Nothing special at all in terms of lift values etc, but they dont break like Kents do as far as I know.
Martin, yours and Winstons weren't as quick as the Nana or 2 lives to be fair, they had nothing inside them and weighed over 100kg's less.
Cams deffo work, but I'd say it depends on what cams you go for and who you get to time and map them that counts. 2 lives was a 14.6 car pre cams, then 14.4 with untimed cams. Once mapped it was 14.0 all day long with back seats and spare out. To this day nothing in similar spec has come close. On the road the difference really shows as the speeds rise and you start throwing hills into the equation.

Kents are ther way forward, do agree with Jesus thou, stripping the car is more effective, but the way I see it, I have cams and a remap, goes like stink and I still have my comforts in the car.
Horses for courses
I paid 150 for mine fitted with new bottom pulleys too
I need to get mine 1/4 miled again now its had the map tweaked and my new exhaust fitted

Yup, as Rob says, there's the advantage of it still being a car and not having to strip anything good out of it to save weight. I leave empty drink bottles in mine, but it doesn't bother me, as once they get too many I just go to BenR and ask for more power
Cams on mine deffo made a huge difference overall, even untimed and on standard map. Its new owner will have all that done soon enough, then it will be one of the quickest Mk1's I reckon.
