Can see any cams on that page.
I'm getting Newman 264cams. They are about £300. What sort of overall power are you looking for?

newmans are a very good cams. 264's are about the max on stock pockets too, so jst turn over by hand when done timing to make sure not touching tops of pistons.
tbh i wouldnt of thought be too much to gain from a cam as mild as that. the stock corsa gsi cams are good to peak about 7.5k iirc

264s should compliment it well then.
i used to run a c16xe with lightened/balanced bottom end. 80mm pistons pocketed, inlet, stock airbox, ported/polished head, full manifold/system and used to whip 106 gti's valver corsas...obv to a certain point.
but broster will probably agree, there cracking motors

This threat has been good for me as im looking for cams. £300 + vat is a good price.
Do you have to have vernier pulleys ?

its better to have them if you fit performance cams, but if your on standard management your limited to dblis verniers as they are the only ones with the lugs for the standard cam sensor
