usually between £300 and £400, but you get everything included that you need. Achieve about 15 bhp on they're own, alot more if u get a re-map

If IIRC they are £320 from piper Cams 
they are claimed to make 8-10 bhp IIRC but depending on other mods you have it might be less but they do improve the engines no end!
the Ultimate road cams do give 12-15bhp as stated above, but you need to change the injectors aswell, and i think a fair bit of engine work may need to be done aswell

change injectors?
15bhp?
Cams for a 1.4 16v, unmapped will give 5bhp or so if your lucky...
Really need to be setup with verniers and mappable ECU to get full gains..
256 degree cams are your limit on std pistons with 1.4 16v
you would need pocketed pistons to run anything with bigger lift etc

only going by pipers Recommendations but to be honest with other mods i cant see the Cams Adding an Extra 15bhp  you'd be lucky if you saw much of an increase..
you'll know this adam but you just cant add up parts and say well this has 15bhp, that has 10bhp and the 50 shot of nitrous gives me 75bhp.. it never works like that

Only do cams if you have done the inlet and you can afford to sort the ECU out at the same time

i had cams on my 1.4 16v
they added 23bhp when coupled with diff manifolds, ECU etc etc
piper recommend non std INJECTION for lumpt cams, not injectors
