Who here has Shrick 268 cams? Are they a worthwhile mod?

Hi

Does anyone have Shrick 268 cams (just on their own not with the Shrick inlet manifold)?

I currently have a cat back exhaust, high flow cat and 6 branch exhaust manfold and soon to be fitted BMC. On my last rolling road session it measured 191-195bhp and that was before the 6 branch and BMC fitted...so I'm assuming my car is around the 200bhp mark with all of these mods...maybe bit more or less.

I'm interested to know whether fitting Shrick 268 cams (just the cams not the manifold too) will provide a worthwhile hike in torque and power from 3000 revs onwards?

Anyone know roughly how much they are? Are they ~£500? I can get them fitted for free as I'm having other work done at the same time...Stealth are doing the work. If I do go ahead with the shrick cams I will also get a full stealth remap (£300+vat). All in all around the £800 mark plus vat so pretty expensive !dodge ... therefore I need to know are the shrick cams (on their own with my current mods) worth it? Will I see a big improvement in power? I'm keeping the car for quite a few years to come and it has currently done about 80k miles.

What kind of rolling road figures have any of you had with fitting 268 cams with just an exhaust and induction kit?

Cheers

Matt

Anyone?

Forgot to ask is a vernier pulley recommended too? What does the vernier pulley do exactly? Does it get more power from the cams or is it used to ensure the timing is spot on?

The Vernier Pulley ensures the timing is on the nose. If you are going to change the cams, its worth getting the head flowed, bigger inlet manifold etc. Then it will be like a rocket! otherwise you'll prob just blow a gasket.

i made around 210 bhp with basically the same mods

i gained 25 bhp and 30 lb ft atw with 6 branch cams and remap
