I had Cat Cams in my Tibby a while ago.
I posted this on the forum a while back.If uou do a search on the Fxtreme board you will see it there.Catcams make different stages and are made in Germany.These Cams are not a regrinnd they are BILLET!!!
I tested out the first set of cams they had last year a=in the spring and Dynoyed at about 6WHP.They were a 248 degree duration cam if im not mistaken.I cant recall the specs but they were pretty good cams.They are a bit pricey but EXCELLENT QUALITY CAMS.If anyone needs a set of these cams let me know as i can get you a set.

The updated version of the Beta cams have been dynoed at 15 hp increase. I have the Cat Cam for the 1.5 SOHC in my Alpha. It is going down to DPE for its next dyno run in two weeks. They are excellent quality cams, and my seat-of-the -pants dyno is impressed. I can't wait to see how the numbers support it.

To buy them go to www.jrponline.com

Are you refering to Updated Cat cams, or the 2001 Elantra Intake cam in the Tiburon?

Either way, were did you see that? I'd like to see the before and after Dyno sheets showing either test!

THESE CAMS ARE THE FIRST SET TAHT THEY HAVE.

If you guys are intrested in these Cams i can can you a set!!
We can even do a group buy on the Catcams and i can save some money.
Remember though these cams ARE NOT CHEAP.They are made in Germany and are BILLET Not a Re-grind.They specilize in making Cams for Porchse!!
You are looking anywhere from $750-$800US for a set!!
Leave your name if your intrested!!!!!
