Default With is the best cam?

As the topic shoes mates. Wich is the best cam for the RST S2?
I want more increase in horse power but I would like the power to be at the begining of the rpm and up the 6000.

Very pleased with my Kent CVH35. I have heard a lot of people complain about the quality of the blanks though. Newman are supposed to be excellent although I've not used one yet (planning on dropping one into my FRST)

Go for Newmans CVH cam and their Solid Followers. They are more difficult to fit and require a bit of ongoing maintenance, but we wouldn't touch anything else now.

Whats wrong with the piper? Heard many bad things about them. Somebody most know wats wrong.

Is it correct that Newmans and vernier are very very expensive?

Somebody wrote: the first 20 min is very importent when you have fitted a new cam.

Does anyone know how to run the engine the first 20 min?
