you will notice a big big difference.
What ECU?
verniers will also help get cams set up properly. but you'll prob need to re adress the ECU!
You bro's old car didnt run to well after cams were done etc... It only made 105bhp. Got it mapped with a unichip - 115bhp and a much better torque curve.

The gains that can be achieved with cams will vary massively with different engines and other modifications that have been carried out. To make the most of them the ecu should be re-mapped so that fuelling is adjusted to match the new cams otherwise the valves will be open for longer but no extra fuel will be injected into the engine unless the fuel map is adjusted to do so. Also, by re-mapping the ecu you can adjust the point at which the fuel is ignited (ignition timing). This is almost as important as the cam timing itself!
