Depends on the spec of the cams, the higher the lift and longer the duration the closer the valves will get to the pistons. As they run stupidly close as standard you can only get away with mild cam upgrades which really don't make much sense financially as the gains are so small. You would be better served by removing weight, particularly beneficial are lighter wheels. Brake ans suspension mods will net you the most gains, then think about pistons, rods and cams as a package that all needs to be upgraded at the same time (1,500-2k basically) ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

A remap costs around £400, and there is no point doing that without engine work first.Buy some good suspension and brake pads, you will see better gains out of these than anything engine related for your budget.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

The thing they omit from the stage 2, is the valve to piston clearance, Would be handy to know how they know the cams/valves are missing each other________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Then they offered it out as an upgrade once they knew there was clearance - all be it not a lot.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
