philgor Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 would be there be any gain by just swapping the the c4 cam's out and by dropping ITR/CTR cam's in? i.e just cam's no re-map, or anything else or i'm i just barking up the wrong tree.....

james Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 if you are going down that cams road you will need a remap - springs - retainers i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philgor Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 so far, 150k mc2 aerodeck, on mg zs suspention and rear rollbar, custom ss catback with itr airbox. running at 163bhpjust wondering if just swapping the cam's would give the engine a boost, or do i need to go further with remapping it as well.i remember pricing up an fast road cam for my old astra. it was an old 1.4 spi, and i'd been on the forum's, priced up a S/H 1.6 spi head, head skim, valve regrind, headgasket kit bolt's. and a fast road cam and it wouldn'd need remaping or anything electrical eather...never got around to doing it cos i did this to ityes i did walk away from it......

(wanted more go as it had no power and no torque what so ever....)rolled that fucking thing 4 times at 40mph yeah 40mph, bird shatered the windsreen as i entered a right hand bend, starteled me (only been driving a couple of month's), back end hit the dirt and sent me sideway's rolled it 4 time's in total encluding 1 of them end over end got it over a dyke and on top of a hedge facing very nearly the way i came.......so back to the question, can i drop any of the above cam's in and the car can run with out any ill effect's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
