what would be the better cam a piper 285 t or a piper 285 t2 i am running 18 psi

 

t2 for above 14 psi

 

as above m8,or get a newman cam

 

Neither, a CVH35, or a newman!

(Piper are shit)

 

i have a piper t2, in what way are they shit? not being funny, just wondered cos mine seems ok

 

the piper 285T is far better than the T2 whatever boost your running!

dont listen to the sales talk from piper lol.

 

get your self a kent35 i cant fault it and its works spot on in mine.....

 

Theres many people that have had Pipers and have learn't the expensive way, a CVH35 is far better as far as dyno results go, and piper cams also wear at an obscene rate.

My mate also had one and they dont have the ball bearing pressed into the centre of the shaft, he couldn't stop oil pissing out of it and all inside the cam belt cover.

 

stay away from pooper cams

 

As said mate, Kent CVH35, I have one in my RST and it seems spot on. I also have a Kent CVH22 in my XR2 and that runs like a little dream

285T2 is a pants profile. It sacrifices loads of mid range grunt for a small increase in peak power. Absolutely pants.

Kent CVH35 or a Newman , 285T2 only if you want a nice paper weight

 

i found 2 or my 3 Kent cams (2x35's and 1x34) like to wear @ a fast rate.


Never used a piper.


And Newmans is my next route.

 

All CVH cams wear at a fast rate

CVH top ends are shit

 

ive had a kent piper and newman,the newman is far better than any of 3
i never had any issues with my piper wearing down fast,but felt the car felt less powerful lower down in the rev range to get top end power where as my newman has more low down grunt and still more top end than the piper,although mine is custom specced so cant comment on there off the shelf item,also when considerin the newman you have to get he solid lifters which will need adjusting often
