What would be best for a regular motorway driven Stage one kitted 1275 Mini with an MG or 266 type cam?

1.3 or 1.5 Ratio?

For high miles, lower maintenence engines I would suggest 1.3 rollers.

I have 1.5's on mine and there great for the motorway give you plent of power for over taking !!

I would personally stick with 1.5's not 1.3's

I was thinking roller tips rather than the full roller rockers. I've heard that the 1.5s can make the cam/followers wear quickly.

What cam have you got Beno, and what's it like when stuck in slow traffic?
