i got my cam in 2002 when AVA were trying newman out for there custom cams(guinea pig ),it changed my car from 195@wheels at 18psi to 208@17psi,but felt so much more livelier beyond 4k,even my graph shows that at 4k its gets another lease of life,in they 5 yrs ive done around 6k miles and had to get them adjusted twice,but ive learnt how to do it myself so thats half the battle
also my power has increased right nthe way thru the rev range.at 4k power is exact same on both graphs 150.6 but the newman cam graph just starts goin at 4k(this is my 214@wheels graph as i cant find the 208 one but nothing changed spec wise since 208

also will it be a custom or off the shelf cam?

anyone else run there off the shelf variant?
what gains you get from that?

with piper



with newman
