I understand that the ones at BB Performance & Need for speed are 'proper' ones from known manufacturers like piper, and they also both have kent cams too........and k-tec make their own I assume.

So own brand cams........kinda like tesco value cams? lol. Well surely not cuz they are a renault tuning company? Gotta be good surely?

Â£504.43 on need for speed, Â£538.15 at BB, and then only Â£223.25 at k-tec

Confused

Yeah but there is only Â£34 difference between the piper cams at BB and need for speed, the k-tec ones are a different product.

I spoze Â£34 difference is daft for the same thing tho yeah. But when it costs over Â£500 in the first place, it doesn't really seem like much of a difference does it

if you want a cheaper cam, just get your exisiting cam reground for about Â£160.

Well, it seems maybe k-tec aren't the cheapest after all!!

Just spoke to 'em now and that price is for re-grinds. They send 'em to piper to get 'em re-ground.

Their website gives the impression that they're new cams tho Rolling Eyes

grrr

K-tec are crap.

For example - "we can gas flow your 8v head for only Â£250ish"

I email them to see about this and....

"it will cost you Â£650 odd"

Um... No Rolling Eyes
