ZZP was friendly to me to put my [font="Arial;"]$649 cams on the shipping bill for $125 value.[/font]
[font="Arial;"]My duties were about 10% of the true value. Very happy.  [/font]

How did you get them to do that?

 

I didn't. They did it by themselves. (Maybe they like dutch guys; dunno)

  So blower cams are better 

  Define "better"...   

better for max bhp with a 2.2 Harrop     However the LSJ cams are probably ideal for a smooth 2.0 GM sc with about 250/260 bhp 

my stock LSJ cams do 275-280 in a 2.0 m62 and in my mates Harrop they are good for a smooth & revvy ~320.

Martin, what tax did you have to pay in the end on the cams?

If I go on my zzp account it still says pending shipping?

 

 

Drop them an email and check.

I was going to order some other bits and combine but didn't in the end, pinged them this week and turns out they ran out of Stg 2 cams and will be sending them out next week.

Possibly I'm not the only one...

Not sure what I've paid in tax havent checked, will,find out when I get my credit card bill I guess.

 

So are these stage 2 ! Why dont they just write it on the box in big letters for numpties like me.

Because Comp Cams have no idea what "stage" tuning is, I guess. They grind them to a given spec and it's ZZP/AllEcotec/us that give them silly names.

My cams have just arrived from zz performance. I ordered stage 2 but no where does it say what stage version they are.

 

On box 1

200-000-5I

Ecotech intake 8758 HR 102

 

On box 2

200-000-5E

Ecotech exhaust 8759 HR 116

 

 

So these are Stage 1 inlets and stage 1.5 exhausts.

 

Best to contact ZZP direct and ask them why they have sent those cams.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

I hope mine come right,

[MartinS]

I've contacted them so will wait and see what they say.

[color=#000000;][font="arial, sans-serif;"][color=#000000;][font="arial, sans-serif;"]Martin- what specs are you comparing that lead you to believe that these are not the right cams?  Based on the numbers you sent in your email below, you have stage 2 supercharged LSJ[/color][/color][/font][/font]

 

 

 

[color=#000000;][font="arial, sans-serif;"]So is it now agreed I have the right stage 2 cams???[/color][/font]
