At this point the block, crankshaft, con rods and pistons are at the machine shop. The engine is an MG Metro. It is being bored +.060" and will be getting Mini Spares Evolution light weight pistons with the offset shallow dish. The camshaft is Mini Spares Evolution 002. The rockers are roller rockers with 1.5 ratio. We will be running an SU HIF44 with a long center branch header. Final drive ratio will 3.2 with Mini Spares cross pin diff.

The reason I ask is that I was reading here yesterday about some other subject and in that thread the discussion turned to camshafts. And in that thread someone said that Mini Spares Evolution 002 cam "is a bit much for the street".

Our goal with this car was to have one that would give excellent performance on our back country roads, do well in autocross and and still be driveable while doing in town work as a grocery getter.

So, did we make a mistake with that Evolution 002 cam?

Once again, thanks in advance.

I would lose the 1.5 rockers  and the 001 cam would be a torquey drivable set up.
