Cams

Cam Gears

For US models Lotus changed the M.O.P. (Maximum Opening Point) for emissions reasons. You can swap the 110° intake cam sprocket with the 104° auxiliary cam sprocket. Another option is to install an adjustable cam gear which means that you can return the cam to 110° for emissions testing (but of course this is more expensive than simply swapping cams gears.)


Cams

Also on US models, you should also swap the stock 107 intake cam with the higher lift 104 cam. This does sacrifice a little power at the low end (below 3k RPM) for top end performance.
