Marc Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 what power increase could i achieve by adding hks camshafts on a bpu car, is it just top end power? will there be more torque, mid range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Id not bother, j-spec cams are good for 600bhp, dont lose the drivability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 think 264s are the fav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I wouldn't waste my money. There are better ways to get power. BPU loses low down power when you pop cams in. Unless you drive your car at redline all the time you're wasting the cash... The cams shift the curve way right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sooo. would this be the same for singles? bearing in mind I have a T61 on a cast mainfold... With a remap to suit and HKS 264s installed by CW I gained 50fwhp at the top end, sure enough its nice but it shifted my power curve taking away some low down punch. You could argue that the car had too much punch before as it spun the wheels up very very easily, where as now it hooks up a lot easier, therefore the power is more usable. Depends what you want. For a track car that stays in high revs, a higher power band isnt a problem, for a road car I would want to keep the power band wider and lower for better drivability. IMO of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
