Feeler M42 Catcams GB
« on: October 27, 2007, 09:04:24 PM »
How many people would be interested in a Catcams GB for the M42/M44 engine?  I can order them but would need a good sized order to make the shipping worthwhile. In general, they'll run about 30% below Schrick cam costs, and I can probably get them a bit cheaper.

Here is a link to a listing of the cams that would be available for the M42.

http://www.flyingbrickperformance.com/Business_Docs/catcam_specs.doc

I'm getting more info on pricing.  When I ran the last GB on CatCams for the M20, they were $210 versus the $320 price, so you're probably looking at somewhere around $620 for the set, but that's a guestimate since I'll be dealing directly whereas last time I had a distributor middleman who absorbed some of the costs.

i want a new inlet cam alone for my engine, already have the exhaust setup i want. Would be interested in a catcam, esp if could be shipped direct to UK from belgium or wherever they are, thus avoiding US import tax!

So these wouldn't work for the e36 m42?  What are the "custom parts" needed for the more aggressive cams?

I can get the e36 cams too.  I'm awaiting a more comprehensive listing since I'll probably just to a full GB for all models.

can you give me some specs of all cams that they make for M44, as you made for M42s up?
 
 
I checked their homepage, but there is nothing about M44s:confused:
thank you

I'm still keen for a single cam (inlet) as long as they can do the spec i want, price seems ok even if it has to go via the states and back and incur tax (although of course would be better if not).

Still waiting to hear back on pricing since I've expanded my normal range of cams so I'll have to re-evaluate costs to make sure shipping from Belgium can be absorbed.  I'll let everyone know once I finalize pricing.  The cams would come through the US before going anywhere else.

Here are the prices thus far.  I'm trying to get things lower but the exchange rate is horrible.  If you're not in the US, you might as well just buy them direct - likely would be cheaper given the $1.46 conversion rate right now.

I'm interested in a set, but need some guidance on the proper cam.  Looking for a M42 set.  I'd also like details on the springs.  Are they single "bee hive", doubles, or stock?
