as above. you need to change to the piper valve springs,i flowed my head the other day and the standard spring were fully compressed at 8.5mm lift. the piper spring were fully compressed at 10.8mm, so they're a must. :agree:

that and the vernier... probably make things easier when fitting and tuning etc

285 will be **** with a T2 mate, you need a bigger turbo i.e T25 to get any real benefit from a 285 cam
