Depends where you are going with the car.

The stock cam is quite good actually. If you want more then Kent CVH35 would be my choice but there have been more than a few issues with the quality of the blanks.

Newman cams are sposed to be the business but I've not used one yet

No, the cams are the same. Only the pulleys are different so the cams are timed differently XR3i vs. RST.

Are you sure? 1.4 and 1.6 are the same too?

I have to say that whilst I agree with the idea of avoiding Piper and Kent at all costs, fitting a Newman Cam and Solid Lifters, isn't really a straight-forward DIY job. It takes us 1-2 hours to set the solid followers up on mine and that's with us having done it countless times. It requires most than just the ability to hold a spanner.

Other than that, Newman is the best of what is available out there.

I agree with Christian, it is a complete pain to adjust the clearances.

I think it cost me around £330 for a set of solid followers and cam.
