    I would leave the standard ABF ones in... are a better set of cams in my opinion.

    People do the KR swap on 9a engines as the 9a cams are poo.

    i've tryed the abf/kr cam mix in my old seat and it didn't seem torev well orhave the top end power the abf cams had. could be because of the digifant as the kr cams/mixdo work wellon an abf which is running on k-jet.

    i've owned both types, abf on digi and k-jet, both were taken to the same spec i.e kentcams, flowed heads, ex manifolds and setup on RR. digi had 182hp and k-jet 185hp, but the k-jet just feels so much more willing to rev to the redline.:lol:

    Stick with stock. ABF cams are good.

    stock abfcams on digi give the best all round, if your mate is after more top end thekent abf264's seemed to work well inmy car.
