Default MTI B1 or T1???

What do you guys think about these cams? Daily driven M6, Lid, gmmg catback. ( no headers ) Had headers before and didn't see much of a gain. Thinking cam for now then headers maybe.

I have the T1 and I like it. Its a little easier on the springs with only a .558 lift and you can definetly tell its there. I dont have any track times with it yet but it has been dynoed and I was very happy with the results considering how small of a cam it is.

I think both B1 and T1 are good cams but some of the new cams like C1, C2, TR220, TR224, MMS224 are just as driveable or maybe better in some cases and have potential to make better power.

LT headers will help with any of these cams.

The B1 still makes very nice power and will cruise through emissions testing. Note my Dyno numbers in signature below!

The reason he is asking about B1/T1 is because MTI is currently selling the remaining stock of both of these cams for $275 each. See sponsor/gp forum for details.

C1 isn't any better than a T1, the cams are nearly identical. I'd go with a B1 if emissions sniff tests are a concern, otherwise T1.
