if your goin to power engineering i would get one of there cams fitted!
dont go standerd if ya dont have to cus it will save doin it later...beins as u have had bottom end rebuilt all should be fine!
(how much ya bottom end rebuild cost?)
if you want to buy a kent or piper i would go kent cvh35....
for cam kit its around £235/260 plus £65 for vernier pully!
but as before ive heard of power engineering cams that give +35ft/lb and 10bhp!
unless u just want bhp!
hope this helps!

my bottom end build cost me £750.. spoke to P.E they dont do their cam anymore but the piper 285t not the t2 is nearly the same as theres was and its good 4 everyday use as its my main ride.I am using piper over kent as i get it at cost price about £170 4 the kit and £40 pully it is worth getting the pully isnt it???

depends what u want. A new std cam takes some beating. The 35 and t2 are very laggy, and come in with a bang - good if u like revving it, but wont give u any more power on a std cylinder head - u'll just lose torque.

Ok know this has been asked loads but whats the best cam for all out torque...im not into revving the aRSe off my car...i want pure mid range power for around £340 including pully!.....
