The reason I asked for the cam specs is if it is high lift Procams you will need new shims, lifters, springs and retainers, so there would not be a problem fitting it to the NEO head.

The loss of VCT would be a bummer though.

Not sure if the direct replacement Poncams would work though.

Getting the cams this week. Tobie, will let you know. I`m leaning towards going full RB26 here. But then we go moggy, after the R33 and the Stegia I need to.
