Hi guys what performance cams do you think are the best for the e36 328. Which cams are better shrick or us m3 cams? All suggestions much appreciated:thumbsup
afaik schrick are meant to be slightly better but can give a lumpy idle. iirc the schrick cams profile is based on the s52 us m3 cams. The oem ones wont affect the idle and are good for 8-12 hp. But a remap is needed to release this full potential. HTH
Have also heard cat cams being recommended but i cant give you any info on these, might be worth looking into?
as above the nothing will come close to USM3 cams for the money :cool
if you want something wild and you have cash burning a hole in your pocket i would look for sunbelt cams or diablis but you may need to uprate the valve springs
i believe the shricks you get over here are usm3 copies
Upgraided valve springs are recommended even with s52 Us m3/schrick cams. Few guys have complain about not doing it. Engine is usually given higher revs with new cams so old worn valve springs can´t keep up.
