Default Cam choice.???

my follwers are getting proper rattley now and are starting to piss me off.lol. wot i wanna know is that if i put a piper 285t2 (14psi+) in will it run ok wit my car due to it holding 12psi and only spiking to 14 i dont see the point in putting the lower spec one in cos if i want more power later on the cam would be right if ya know wot i mean lol

Cam timing is only different, but that RSTs 4degree retardation is taken care of by the different pulley wheel. So, the cam itself is the same. Personally, I even like it better without the 4 degree retard, but I'm getting old and want the engine to perform well low down where I do 99% of my driving.
