Just a quick question for you all, what's the difference between the piper 285 t and the piper 285 t2?

cheers,pete

The t2 is for high boost (14+ psi), the t is for standard boost. T2 is supposed to give 26 bhp and t 15bhp. Basically the t2 is for higher rev'in and boosting RSTs.

If your intrested, the full low down:
Power bands
T = 2000-6000 RPM
T2= 2300-6500 RPM

Cam Duration:
T = 270 deg
T2 = 262 deg

Valve Lift:
T = .458"/11.63mm
T2 = .465"/11.81mm

Full Lift, Atdc Btdc:
T = 119 deg
T2= 114 deg

Sad - I know

Bloody hell, you know your fiqures! Does that count for womens as well?!

Because i want norris to sort my car eventually, i asked karl and he said the t2 was a awful cam to work with, and that he always used the t version, so think ill stick with that one.

Thanks for the info though boyz!!

I've got now and had the t2 in my engines and the main problem is that it comes in high up the rev band so you find your self changing back down the gears, but when it comes in to play it goes like f..k! I would say its aimed more at track day cars rather than fast road use.
