Did you buy Newman's own RST cam, or spec your own?

How many of you are on solid lifters?

hi m8
i am running a newman cam have done for the past two years , this is the second one i have had due to me wanting a wilder profile, its not an off the shelf cam, newman cams can only use solid lifters because the cam material is made out of chill cast steel, if you tryed to use hydraulic lifters the cam would'nt last five minutes.. solid lifters Initially can be a pain to setup, because of the quality of the blanks i would'nt even bother with kent piper are not as bad but you can't go wrong with newman....

T28 - its on solids? How many miles have u done/do you do? And how often does it need adjsuting? I do a lot of miles, so i'm not sure whether solids would be a viable option if i need to adjsut them every 3000 miles due to cam wear.

Newman quote their springs at 200lb - std ones are around 220lb, which is confusing. Maybe to do with the profile. If the 200lb ones work, then they are worth having, as will reduce wear problems.
