Prima racing cams

[Ph1 Tom]

Does anyone know the specs of these? I asked Prima racing directly and the reply I got was....

"If you fit these cams on standard timing marks, you will achieve the figures we have stated."

The price isn't bad but no real details are they the same as the Piper cams?

Anyone have any info on these worth getting or?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I found out later on they are the exact same profile as the Catcams 428. Just much, much cheaper!

There re grinds iirc

 

[Ph1 Tom]

No they're not

 

[Simon_16v]

Is it a problem even if they are re-grinds?

 

[l33th3tr33]

What's a re-grinded cam? Is it a bigger cam........ grinded to a spec useful to a certain vehicle?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Oem cams with the BCD ground down so the lifters adjust to that and Inturn give higher lift

 

[l33th3tr33]

Ooooh I see, thanks for clearing that up for me.

All in, what's the cost of these cams, remap etc going to cost? And do you have to go decat?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Cams £295, remap £300, decat is optional.

Then you need to factor in fitting cost, do you need a cambelt kit? Is it worth doing the dephaser pulley? And so on.

 

[Simon_16v]

Can you get away without a remap on 421's? I'd consider buying some as I'm going to get my dephaser replaced and cambelts done at the same time

 

[Ph1 Tom]

You mean 428s?

Yes I believe they are fine but to get the best from them a remap is advised.

 

[GodSpeed]

Why even consider changing cams if you wount do a remap?

 

[Simon_16v]

Because I've a holiday in 5 weeks and don't want to spend all of my spending money before I go lol

if you do go for 421's you are going to need a remap and tbh i wouldn't fit ANY cams without getting it remapped soon after

 

[Simon_16v]

To be honest I did mean 428s, if I did get some fitted it would be after I get back from Florida but I might just get it all done afterwards but the dephaser is bugging me big time

 

[mitch1503]

TBH i wouldn't really bother with 428's as they are still quite a mild cam, check 519's cam package out with 438's which are making good numbers
