Is there any better cam suggestion to give a bit more responsiveness?
Ive heard standard cams are the best for this though, is this true?

Posted before I had time

So it is true then.

I juist find my car a little too 'laggy' (well boost threshold), just wondered if any particular cam set ups would improve the way it came on boost>?

Bd14 inlet. Some people get away with no valve cut outs in their pistons, other like me have big enough for no worries what so ever.
