I rang them yesterday to enquire about a cam! Had just got of the fone to courteney who reckemend there hi torque cam for the twin 40 set up! Any way PMC told me there have a cam ideal for the job a schrick (sp?) i said isn't that the same as the courteney one! He replied yes but this will give 10 bhp (10%) more power! I replied so does the courteney one! There reply 'did u say twin 40's, oh, that would give 15% as u have more power!!! then he said straight away ' wanna order it now!?
Why can't people just be honest and help u!!!
if n e 1 can recconmend a cam please do!! :)
Ah the joys of a telesales call centre!
What were the differences in price from Courtney to PMC - seeing as how the cams are the same?
Intreagued how if theyre the same the PMC one can give more power than the other? You should have probed him further - backed him into a corner to see if he'd have sworn at u for knowing yer stuff! :D
They aren't the same. Courtenay use a piper fast road cam with a slightly different profile. Speak to CP. He ordered a piper fr/rally cam that is specificly matched to twin 40's this will be the best option. It didn't idle that bad either, no different to most Nova's.

lol i still say go for the Kent Cams replica of the optional Nova Sport uprated cam - 298 degree duration!!!
I like the idea of this high torque cam though, as i should be running 40's soon. You got any more info on it?
i want twin 40s on my 1.4sr but no one wants to sell me any :(
im pretty sure the courtney cam has more mid range torque and the shrick has the power band higher up the rev range. so you would probably get a bit more bhp from the schrick cam but it would come in later so not neccesaraly better. all depends how/where u drive it hard.
iv found that when u call pmc ur best asking to speak to some1 with excellent technical knowledge, therefore you speak to some1 that knows what there on about rather than a ripoff salesman!!
