Kent vs RS1800 cams....

Postby SimonT on Sun Feb 16, 2003 9:52 pm

Does anyone know weather there is much to be gained from fitting Kent cams over RS1800 ones?

cheers

I think the only problem you might experience with aftermarket cams is that they will specifically be aimed at n/a applications whereas you *can* use the RS cams for a turbocharged application.

Re your car's behaviour with the 130 ECU, it's prolly because the 130 ECU increases top end fuelling but as a result it's likely to be overfuelling through the midrange.
