IIRC Thats their highest lift CVH cam so I'm guessing 250bhp+?
Had one in mine when I first bought it but it was laggy compared to the Newmans i'm running now or even a stock cam.
I thought you were running a Newmans?

it'll be a paper weight in no time, that said it did give a huge amount more pull than a kent cvh35, ford erst and 2i cams.
it is the highest lift cam they have off the shelf 14psi plus of boost needed to get them working properly, so 200bhp+ to get the best out of them.
