ST510 Mini Sport Camshaft KIT - Mild Road - CA1

[Jacks]

Or is a ST948 Mini Sport Camshaft KIT - Fast Road - CA2 better for my set up

Neither cam will do anything while your on a standard head/valves I'm afraid, the cam may well have the capability to increase the performance but the head will restrict it.

I've got an ST948 I may be interested in selling!

There the 997 and the 998 cooper camshafts, can be considered like a traffic camshaft.

The 510 was the Cooper 'S' standard cam. In a 998 with a 12G295 head, a CR of c.10:1 and decent carburation it works well. A very nice cam.

In a 998 bored +0.080" with the above mods and a few more 'goodies' I got 66 bhp at 6000 rpm.

The thing here jacks is those engines were modified and not standard, you could strip and freshen up the motor and install a cam and do the head at a later date to reap the benefit.

As Dave says, a cam change with no modification to the head will gain nothing.
