Super charger or pro cams ?
Hi, it I have a blown head gasket on my pony I assume its going to cost a packet to fix. So what's the prices and opinions on superchargers or pro cams.
I hear cams can get 400+ BHP.
What would cost be. I thought 6k for a blow with fitting. Cams ? Not sure.
Pete.

I doubt cams will get anywhere near 400, as that is Blower territory

Whatever you do, you'd still have to take the heads off to replace the gasket.Originally Posted by colintf

TBH that's where I would start.
S/C replaces the inlet manifold (plus mounting some additional bits) cams require valve covers off and mapping.
Eitherway, it's additional cost on top of the head gasket replacement.

Someone (Steve?) has cams and got about 20bhp?
On their own cams won't get you much, but if your taking the heads off you could try the trickflow twisted wedge heads which apparently will generate c100bhp extra.
have a look at StuC's rolling road figures from Janspeed last April, he has cams, Xpowers and Accufab from memory

Been considering SC for a while now but want the rumble of road cams too. Is there a specific person to talk to here.
