Default 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.

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.
