And start spelling out your words.

I have to agree with dklawson, its very difficult trying to understand what you're saying in these messages, just take a bit more time and make sure the spelling of vital words is right, we'll be able to help a lot more then!!!

Oh, and he's pretty much right with the cam's there, i've heard the Swiftune SW5 is pretty good for all applications.

I would go for a Kent 276 for the 998, excellent cam and very drivable too.

what about roller rockers what setup?

[Bluemini]

On a 998 the 1.3's are enough. On a 1275 1.5's. 1.7's are for big race engines.

im dislexic so it helps if i do it like this sorry ile try my best

what would that cam do bluemini?

[Purple Tom]

no worries matey :wink:

[Bluemini]

To simplify it, the cam gives more lift and longer duration, giving the engine to get more fuel in over a long period and the same with getting the exhaust out. The rockers just give more lift, so those with the cam will be pretty good

nice i was thinking of a new cam and roller rockers, i dont like the idea of one without the other :nugget:

[Woody]

higher ratio rockers also open the valve a little earlier and closes it a little later .

[lewis]

great, how much would a cam and roller rockers be? im doing my local hill climbs and sprints next year so im building a 998cc mini for it,

[Bluemini]

Depends where you buy them from and what make you go for. Best bet is to look at the prices in the mags.
