Any 325i cam will work, I used a dbilas 272/272 because to car was an auto and I wanted a good idle.

My vote would be to go for a 284/272 then get a custom chip. I don't think any off the shelf chip is going to get the best out of a custom engine.

I had one of ant's chips, it 'll do the job for now and be as good as any other chip you can buy.

Cat 1300525 ( 273/273 ) cam and A-tech 2.7 chip would work great on that hybrid :thumb:

not that I'm biased at all, just the schrick cams are overpriced IMHO and dont offer any gain over the Cat products, indeed both are manufactured from chilled cast billet , and properly hardened as part of the manufacturing process.
