Default Cat Cams

Anyone tried one of these in either a mech/hyd tappet engine turbo or n/a? Their website seems to indicate that they supply camshafts with mental amounts of lift and duration!

Lift and duration are two trade offs.... a long duration camshaft with seriously high lift is very likely to produce less power than a shorter lift one. This does however depend on a large number of variables.

Catcams are renound in the Peugeot tuning world but as for Audi engines, I've heard a few cases of poor quality (this is word of mouth not self clarification). Look at Ian simmonds and richard bootys cars using shrick cams, a very well known high quality camshaft manufacturer with some very good designs of cams.

What application is it you need cams for?

Yknow if I could do a deal with you against my Lime V6 I would.Mind you Im not sure if you like my car or not!

I think I would change cars now though,as Im due a change.I had the 1.6 GTi at the time,and was to change that for an M plate Sorrento Green 1.9 CTi but I went for my integrale instead.

Hmmm,let me know if youd trade one for t'other mate.Mines mint.
