Cheers,

I put that info up as this was the spec of my fiesta many years ago when it was pushing this sort of power, but back then it was only running a pace dc/ic which was struggling with charge temps if under load for any length of time. I did however run a hybrid t2 and a standard cam, the car tailed off at arounf 6500 but the power was there really early in the revs and held it right through with loads of torque, well a fair bit for a 1.6 anyway.

I used the kent cvh34 on a 1.9 engine I built in an escort RST s2 which again was very similar to the standard cam in characteristics but everything was amplified, the cam itself has been designed by Ahmed Bayjoo for the purpose of giving more torque through out the rev range instead of a flat mid range and power top end. They are a very popular cam for stroker setups and zvh's for this reason.

I would however say that the cvh engine does love to rev so going for a high torque cam may not be best, if you are staying with the standard size turbo then it would be a good choice, but if you were to upgrade to the larger t3 then another cam spec me be required which will encourage the engine to flow and rev higher.

People like Christian Major, Project RS, Jamie Going, Sitech,Norris Motorsport etc etc are the people to speak to on this, I can only comment on what I have done myself but I am by no means a specialist in the cvh depart where as the above wrote the book.

Hope this helps
