Christian,
I do not rate hydraulic cams in any engine, especially the CVH! However before this cam was launched we did test it for newman and found the durability of the materials superb! If you did'nt know the followers are NOT std CVH items they are EN40 grade steel followers, required to work with a chill cast cam.
sorry to jump in on this post but itll save me starting a new one... here is my spec so far,
standard cvh head that i plan to have worked, increased port sizes, polished and flowed,
2.1 zetec bottom end with c20let pistons, eagle rods and arp studs
stage 2 garett turbo
efi with 300bhp chip but plan to go for ms or go tech when i learn more about the system
Wondering what cam you guys would recommend. Engine is good for the 350bhp mark, i like a lumpy idle but just want driveablity more than anything.
Cheers
