Dont care who makes it, just has to deliver power from as low down the range as possible, but still produce power around 5,000

Needs to be emission friendly.

Whilst on the subject of camshaft, i have a cheap and cheerful duplex, has anyone got the timing doobie to borrow?

I'm using the Hi-Torque design from MED. It's fairly good on the 998 but how low down do you want it?

[Dog]

A 998 or 850 cams are great for low down torque, but seem to give small BHP figures...

a mate of mine has a 1380, and everything else is standard, a part from twin 1.1/4 Yes TWIN 1" and a quarter carbs!
Mad on a 1380? No not really, as for him its all about driveable motor... he can almost balance a £1 coin on top of his engine, when its running, produces stupid amounts of torque, but only get 70bhp!

AC Dodd's by any chance Dog!!

[smudger]

As low down as possible

1,200rpm would be nice

idle at 800rpm

thats the area i am after

Will be running a hiff38

This is just to get me on the road for now.

looked at a SW5 cam?



Boo, No not AC's but a chap that works withhim now and then, chap called Matt... (don't know his second name)
AC's is almost the same, but AC is actully using 1.5 Rockers too, which to people that know his work, is a rareaty!

[miniboo]

idnt know Matt had one like that aswell.

Mattskinner?

[fikus01]

kent 256 cam, pulls from the off to 6000rpm highly recomended by myself, if u want high torque low down use the standar head too

[miniboo]

what a mg metro cam?

[fikus01]

doesnt pull well on a small bore lump til the revs get up a little!! thats why i changed it for the 256!
