Is there excessive noise from the top of the engine/cam?

very debatable!

Got for a piper T2 there more suited to higher boot applications! (14psi+)

i have a 285t in mine and love it tho next i will go for a T2

Or if you dont mind your engine being late on power newman cams are ment to be good but have solid lifters! so take more time to fit!!

try a Kent CVH34....gives EXCELLENT mid-range power and pulls through to redline not as lairy as the cvh35 but the mid range gains are excellent

the kent 34 sounds good as i am after low torque rather than reving the hell out of it.

Word, reving the CVH is more scary than fun. Drivability is not for women, it means faster lap times and faster 0-60.
