hi,
what ist the better cam for a 4x4 cossie the ab07 or the new newman 256/350?
thanks..

They look to be pretty much the same cam, the newman one has very slightly more lift.

From the spec sheets the AB07 cam has power band of 1500-6500 and the newman one 1000-6000.

The full lift on the AB07 is at 115 degrees while the newman is at 112, this may be why the power band is lower??

Would be interested in this myself as I am currently looking at a new inlet cam

i have heard that the Ab07 is working very good.
i dont'n know what makes the newman.
someone the newman?

Newman is the make (I have one)
the ab07 cam I think can be used without valve cut outs on your pistons .
the Newman BD 14 cam needs valve cut outs
be careful to which cam you buy and it will change how the car drives ,
my cam set up is inlet newman BD 14 and exhaust cam BD 8 (standard)
hope this helps

What made you choose the BD14 inlet?/

Whats the rest of the spe of your engine?

matthewpickup

as with my spec the BD 14 will work well and its always there to get a little more in future ,

my spec
siemens 55s
t 34
BD 14/BD 8
double valve springs
stainless valves
W/S
air injector
and all other parts to match these lol too many to list
should make 380bhp+

well once its actually in and running lol

Thanks mate, did you spect that for your own engine or have it built?

just interested as I'll be after an inlet cam for mine soon, been looking a lot in to cam speccing for engines..... bloody information overload, interesting stuff though...

matthewpickup

spec and build by myself and brother , tbh we do everything , only thing we wont do is respray the p100 that's it
the BD 14 BD 8 set up is used with a few people and also matt lewis was selling this set up, good for 400ish bhp maybe more , if I go more my gearbox is dead so no go for now lol
I read that it gives more low to mid power too if I remember correctly
