Cheers mate, Just hope it helps everyone out.

I'm gonna get one off ebay.

£20 lol

is a g40 cam the same as a gt cam?? need a little more power out of my aav

  • Author

nah its not mate. Its designed for a forced induction engine.

Have a look for either a gt or and abd cam , they are very simular.

ABD cam is the same as the 1.3 SPI (same part number) so it may be slightly better than a 1043 cam, but no where near as good as a gt one.

Really?

I'm sure I've seen on here that the ABD was different to the AAV, Better, but not as good as the GT.

But if they're the same part number then you've top trumped me lol

Oh yeah, iv got mates from there.

Id be happy to do it for a few bucks.

Hi Max,

Are you sure you know what you're doing? If so I'm not sure how much I could afford, I'm still finishing m training so not on a great wage. I could pay you in something that ryhmes with bucks ??? :smirk:

Nope, iv got no idea what I'm doing and will probably break your car.

What rhymes with bucks?

And have you even got a GT Cam?

I've just put an offer on one on ebay and am waiting to hear back.

I hope you're better with cars than you are with rhymes.
