Do you need double valve springs?

the cam was designed by Ahmed bayjoo and is designed to fit in a stock engine ie stock valve train and stock pistons

It depends if your engine is currently apart or not. If it is then i would get the pistons pocketed now and double valve springs in the head and then you are done.

I used the ab07 briefly, made 471bhp on a T4 at just below 2 bar. Would have made more if we didn't have to abort mapping for various reasons.

the stock exhaust cam works well for road cars with tall road gearing and mild spec road engines
