Re: Advice On Mild Head Porting Needed
I have noticed that piper cams now list a fast road cam for the 16v. They are marked 'Repro' which I assume means they are regrinds. They are 260 durations and cost £320 plus VAT(15%!) Might be a cheaper option than your local shop. I would ask them if they know what specifications their regrinds will be (duration, lift etc). It does say that BHP increase is 8bhp. This is what all the comapnies I spoke to said, so i decided to get some made from blanks. Its just over twice the price but hopefully will give twice the power increase when timed.

8 bhp should not be ignored though it is nearly a 6% increase and would be a usable profile for the road.
