Default rs turbo cam kits

right people in the know i need to replace the cam in the missus car and i want a better one thats already in there , it has a piper T2 at the minute and its a truley horrible cam!!

she needs the cam to be lively down the bottom rather than a cam that produces the power at the top of the rev range!

what options are there , apart from the usual kent/piper?

its a fairly standard spec btw , standard comp and head but with stage 3 turbo and cooler.

any help appreciated

dont go newman if you want it low down!

only afetr market cam that goes from low down is kent cvh34 1.5k to 7k and piper 285t 1.5k to 6.5k tho u might wanna check pipers web site!

But if you want low down go standerd!

Bur i garenty she will miss the power of the T2 ment to be like +26bhp!

tell her to adjust her driving style!

dont let the revs drop!

i would say standard or cvh 34 because that stage 3 turbo will have increased lag and the only way to counteract this is to go for a standard or standardish cam

if you speak to any DECENT tuner they will tell you that the standard cam is quite sufficient for over 200 bhp
