don't bother with the fuel rail, just keep the standard one with the normal fuel pressure regulator
talk to piper as they are developing a decent plug and play cam

You can retain the std fuel rail but use the vxr injectors, you also want the std regulator aas the vxr one os only 3bar and the LET one 3.3bar
I used the vxr fuel rail but dont think there is anything in it.
Cheeky has not fitted the cams yet

can't see as using the VXR fuel reg will cause any problems, seems fine for the 300bhp astra boys.....

The let one is 3.3 bar and the vxr 3 bar, so as long as you stay under that, i dont know what the max bhp is for 3 bar.
Courtneys told me to keep my standard one

true, i'm not sure on what the max bhp is for 3 bar, but i don think its an essential mod, thats all
maybe the LEH system deals with things a little different? i.e. fuel pump/fuel rail or something? not one to look at figures on things like this TBH, so to me, if you got a 3.3 then use that, if not i wouldn't be worrying!

inlet 16/56
outlet 56/16
duration 252
lift: 9.45 @110deg
lift @TDC .80mm
Overlap 32deg
whats the rationale for these, I could go with some that restrained the peak torque through the mid range to spare the conrods , in return for some top end power.
appreciate that a lot of this is managing EGT and other factors , gross oversimplification there , but you get my drift

That was the profile that could be best achieved when re profiling a set of standard Z20LET cams
These should give a decent gain for fast road use with a nice spread of power and torque throughout the rev band. It should not be too peaky
