I found 3 starion performance cams while looking for 2 stock ones the other day.. No idea what they are though, they have come from random cars/engines I've bought over the years.

Camtech do a good grind, I am talking to a fellow in norway at the moment about sending a couple over there. I could probably sell u one of my mystery cams if you wanted to try a lucky dip? Our I could try to find another stock one to regrind & send you.

Ps I don't think hks made a 2.0 starion performance cam? Only 2.6?

Do you knoww hat sort of gains are to be had on a pretty much standard engine? A guy on the uk owners club has had a batch made up, he says it is for a 2.0l 4g63, i'll dig out the details of it, think it had a duration of 272degrees, Seb
