A couple of members swear by polishing the throttle bodies and replacing the protruding parts with more aerodynamic ones (screws replaced with countersunk items etc).

It must make 'some' difference, especially to throttle response, but how much I daren't say.

I think Phil (Skruntie) suspected you were trying to circumvent the rules relating to the 250 post count when you enquired as to the availability of the cams. As suggested, if you put a wanted ad in the "Test" zone with a request for one of the Admins to move to relevant section all will be forgiven ;) :y

3 ltr cams give about a 0.8mm extra lift so should effect valve timing by opening earlier and closing later. yes they do help.

0.8mm!!!doesn't sound a lot but that's quite considerable! :y thanks for the info!
