Yes, will provide the same benefit if not more. Same part no.

i'd imagine the stock injection system would throw a tantrum with a 295 cam in it - anything over about 275 and i recon u'd start having issues with the pulsing affecting the AFM

True, I thought that after I'd posted, you need to specify which profile. The suitability of the profile depends on the type of induction.

Stu, Want to do deals?

I want that cam, and I've got a much milder Piper 272, suitable for a GSi.

PM me.

A hairy cam will be slighty tamer in an engine of bigger displacment.

The bigger cc gives it bigger lungs so to speak, taming it.
seen it loads of times

-What do you mean by a hairy cam? What difference does the profile make on a bigger engine?

I've been told its an ast2 and looked on kent cams site and it has 290 duration, but for the bigger engines (1.4-1.6) they've got 303 duration. Aragorn said earlier that a bigger engine would want less?!?!?!
