964 Camshafts

[dickyf]

I have a pair of 964 Camshafts I don't need. Could anyone offer a view on what they are worth. Many thanks

If they aren't marked then £2-350 although some specialists will charge more.

They are new and unused

[ras62]

Top end of that range imo. Replacement from Porsche run about £700 each iirc. Many choose aftermarket for performance and cost benefit which is about half OEM cost.

Brand new I'd be asking £500 for the pair. They are desirable to 911 SC owners as an upgrade that works well with CIS. They need the power steering gear machining off first but other than that they're good to go.

How the heck did you find that out on a Sunday

turns out they are fast road cams to go in my 930, 'those were a set of semi-custom cams.
They are a performance profile for 964/993 engines with mechanical rocker arms, giving a broad power band on sport-built engines. Programmable injection is also recommended.
We have used them in hot rod EFI 911 Turbo engines, too, and that pair has more conventional lobe centers for someone who wants a decent idle and good vacuum, and a wide torque curve rather than peaky numbers.
