Not too much I'm afraid it's not a very good cam. Would have though about the Ł100 mark

I can't believe you guys think the 285T2 is a shit cam? On what basis?
Yes, Kent do have some nice profiles, I really liked the CVH34, but I still don't rate it any higher than the T2.
Also, Piper do seem more able to keep a cam in one piece. Kent's quality has gone severely downhill in recent years.

Yes, AGES ago!!
I think I changed to a CVH37(??) after that. Can't really remember, but I do know that it didn't make it as far as 4-figure mileage.

I run a Kent CVH 35 with vernier pulley on mine and it does exactly as i wanted. To be honest, i think a cam without a pulley is waste of time, u may as well stick with a standard jobbie!
Have heard good reviews about newmans....
