J5KE F 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 From my discussions with stealth and VAG tuner.com they all rate 268's! the higher rated cams can cause idleing problems for road cars.But think what other mods you are going to do later on, for instance if you are thinking about a charger, then these arent the best cams to go for without spending loads more wonga on mapping etc! Its all very new to me, but there are quite a few people that can advise you and perhaps correct anything i have said that is wrong?!?? P.S. hows the ice install going??

cadguy77 0 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm new to cam stuff, but the guy in the US makes three different sets for the VR, 260 264 and 268.I'm planning on a few engine mods, big bore ported throttle body, remap, maybe gearbox mods, maybe ported head and big inlet valve mods, and six branch exhaust manifold are a few to be getting on with %-6 . SC is out of my budget at the mo. So just doing some research into the best possible combination of mods. From what I've seen these cams are cheap, so thinking for the cost they maybe a very worthwhile intestment. Has anyone else got any comments to add? James S> As soon as I get a couple more interested on this thread I'll set up a new thread in 'Group Buys'.P.S. J5KE x The ice install at e38 went well , got some bass running down my spine now .Gonna upgrade the standard door 6.5" for some 400w (120w rms). Should sound sweet Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Do the cams have increased lift as well as duration?If they are the same profile & lift as the Schrick ones then this is an absolute bargain! Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madforit 0 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 ive just had schrick 268 cams fitted to my vr6 with a stage 2 s/c and the extra benefits are amazing. U can really tell after 3000rpm as the pick up is awesome. There is no problem at idling either as schrick are the best at idling, you'll get idling problems with kent or piper cams.

Im on the second run in chip at the mo, after another 3k miles i'll get the 3rd proper chip and then will be able to properly let loose. Woo Hoo! Link to post Share on other sites
