Hi Ben,
I didnt do your car personally, Will did, but i remember him showing me your cam and followers and they are knackered pal.

The car has very high HC's, runs on 3 at idle with Hc's in the 1000s and the compression test resulted in a sweep from 160 - 180 psi which isnt too bad.

The AFR and boost was checked live on the road and then the cam timing checked and the intake system pressure tested. there are no leaks. All pointed to a lack of dynamic compression (No air making it into the engine) so Will whipped out the followers and inspected them and, as expected, found half of them to be very concave and the cam lobes to have worn away very badly.

Its ALL just normal CVH dead camshaft wear. The engines are afflicted with it.

All this info and more was given in detai in the bound work report you recieved with your setup so you can consult that for further info on teh afflicted cylinders as they were inspected and reported individually. Best thing you can do is bin the cam AND followers mate, she will never run properly until you do, even if there are other issues... this is your biggest issue mate, the engine will never run smoothly until its cylinders all make the same power and all get enough air to do their share of 200bhp. Yours dont.

If you need to discuss further, please feel free to call me Ben.
