Thanks Brendan Dunno about anywhere in NZ or Aus but its cheaper to get one from the States at the moment. Quick calculation is about $450-500US or $420-450UK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murrayc 1 Report post Posted May 1, 2008 Brendan, I've been considering a Shrick but will probably go for a CAT cam from Quality Engineering in the UK. They gave me a quote a few months ago for a 283 degree for 188 Pounds. Let me know if your interested as there could be a savings on freight for more than two. I'm also looking at a set of BTM stainless race headers that would complement this cam. If I buy more that one set I can get delivered to Wellington for around $1,600. including GST and Duty. Check out their web site for dyno results etc. Cheers, Murray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Im defiantly 100% in for a 272 to go into a m20 2.5 head. There’s potentially a three way split on postage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Im defiantly 100% in for a 272 to go into a m20 2.5 head. There’s potentially a three way split on postage. Not really...you have the weight factor of 3 instead of 1. 3 in one parcel will probably be a bit cheaper though. They charge on weight & size Just got to prey like hell someone doesnt drop them...cams dont like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
