Is it worth purchasing some n/a cams from a 2.5?? I think i could pick some fairly cheap but not sure if it would be worth a: the hassle of fitting them and b: any performance gained?? i read some where they help with top end power... Only running a 16t, oranges and standard pipe work... Considerin pickin up a TB of it as well...

Sounds like the performance equivalent of travelling from Birmingham to Wolverhampton via the Orkneys. But I dare say others, better informed, will tell me I'm wrong ;)

Pretty sure the Na cams are higher lift than the turbo ones, from what I've read it's a worthwhile upgrade, cant quote any specific bhp gains though.

NA cams are said by some to be better, i'd of thought the Piper cams have got to be even better tho

PS i've got no pics lol

I've got Pipers in mine, but I can't help you any more as I haven't driven her since fitting them! No pics either :(

Apparently the Piper cams give a 15bhp increase....See Linky (http://www.pipercams.co.uk/pipercams/www/product_nav.php?type=C&cat=CM&man=29&engine=227)
