sbd cams are kent, tbh best place for cams are like of newman, catcams or QED(more n/a though)

but from what ive heard about kent, they may say peak rpm is 8k, but if your motor only peaked at 7k, and you rang them up they'd simply tell you your engine isnt up to spec, even if it obv is.


what are the autosprint cams been ground too?? cars looking tidy though

How do Nic hows the tbs coming along?

The spec i was told is ........

260* duration and a lift of 360 ", time in at 110*
Got them cheap 2nd hand off Mig, they are regrounds so i can still run my standard lifters? Looking in to going for solids any way.

Any one any ideas if i will gain anything from these?

Ok so i need a bigger intercooler in the search for more power, i have one but it is seriously going to change the front of the car so i dont know if im keen on it!

got a quick snap of it on my other corsa......

i will probably loose the fog lights and top of the bumper if i use this, other option is to get a slightly smaller one..

As it is now......



The other cooler i have...



What do yous think?

u2u matey about solids


as for the coolers, what sort of power are you aiming for? id maybe sell both of those or one and go for a bigger one same style as the one on the red corsa. the other one imo is too tall, would still be nice to get air to the radiator
