why do you need these cams anyways? I thought your car already had the perfect setup? :freak:

Yes.
I was actually going to sell them, since I'm broke like a joke. I had a local buyer, even :(
I will use them, if the intake are the ones that have the friction gear on them, since the broken one has the straight gears. I haven't been in there awhile, and wasn't paying attention. Do you know which cam has the friction gear?
onlytrueromeo, I remember Red Dwarf :) The brits get away with more of that stuff than we do.
Mooneggs..
It will never be perfect :lol: If I get 400WHP with my invention, I'll still want 401.
However, I will be VERY happy with it when I get your 5 spokes and slotted rotors on, and the wideband in, and tuned :D

IIRC intake cams have the friction gears.

edit: Looks like front head has friction gear on intake, and rear has friction gear on exhaust.

My bad. See edit.

Odd how it's not consistent between heads... :/ That threw me off.
