Question - Standard Cosworth Exhaust Cam
I know you can use the standard exhaust cam up to around 500bhp
My question is are you guys running a proper standard cam or a Kent or similar BD8??
The reason I ask is that I have a kent inlet cam and its loads thicker than the standard exhaust cam...
Answers much appreciated

I run a original Ford Standard Exhaust cam in mine.
Although i'd highly recommend Newmans Billet cams if you wanted a Standard Spec but a new cam.

Im not allowed to say the Power that Mark stops using a standard exhaust cam but its a whole chunk higher than you have just quoted.

Yes there really is no need to change the exhaust cam unless you want to rev the nuts off it on solid followers or go mega power.
