camshaft bhp?

[Sikky 0]

Hey people, was just wondering what bhp increase i would expect to see on a 95 obd1 engine doing a performance cam install? seems like quite a wedge of cash and i know its a bit of work too and as im craving more power on a tight budget im rather interested to find out if its worth a good chunk of my mooler. I have an induction kit and magnex exhaust fitted and milltek decat pipe ready to be fitted to if that helps at all??

Cheers for any help in advance, oh and i became a premium member today, nice to be a TRUE member lol (h)

you will get 15 bhp maybe a bit more mate but depending on what cams you fit the power will be delivered in earlier in the rev range and the car will seem more willing to accelerate - they are a very worthwhile mod inmo for the money mate -also dont forget to budget for a remap to fully get the best from them

Dont forget to let ur insurance know and you will easily quadruple your membership fee back in savings!

If I were you, and could stretch to it, look for a schrick inlet manifold and cams.. Completely changes the character of the vr and gives u smoother more low down power gains

cheers fellas, i cant see myself parting with a grand for a schrick tbh, but im willing to go with the cams mod if i can find a set that arent properly bank busting. I love the power i have and actually it would be good to know what bhp im puttin out now before i do any more modding but theres always the need to squeeze more out! ha.

keep an eye out for a 2nd hand set of 263 schimmel's mate thats what I would go for, I ran them in mine for about 2 weeks before fiting the charger and loved them - really improved low down torque and made the car much more responsive, you can pick them up for around £250
