all depends on the spec of you engine?

If its std internals / stage 1 (chip, intercooler etc) then STD FORD cam.

If you're adding that little lot then you really don't want a standard cam mate. I run with Kents CVH35 in my Escort and like it so much I'm getting a second to go in my Fiesta Can't say whether it would be suitable for what you want or not though
