Default what cam for my ERST? piper 285T2 any good?

so far on me RST i have bayjoo 195 chip (16psi), GRS I/C, pace rad, Magnex and K&N panel filter!

going to cam it up now i think

which do i go for? was looking at the piper 285 T2, reckon this one's best?

kent cvh 34 is very good cam for a rs turbo, bit more expensive but worth it.

There was a article in fast ford a while ago and they featured kent, and they mentioned that the cvh34 was the ideal cam for the 1,6 but the cvh35 was good for the 1,9?

I'll see if I can find the article..

the power is 1.5k to 7k, you dont really need the vernier pulley if you cant afford it, the cam is designed to use with standard timing marks, ive never used a vernier, and was told the other day by a tuner that its not needed.

The cam pulls hard after 3k

i got a piper 285t and think its a wicked cam! if i ever replace it it will be with a piper T2! cus im running 17psi the T2 would actually be a better cam to have! but the 285T is a good midrange cam!

only heard bad things about kent lately!

kents old stuff like the cvh 34 and 35 were fine, some of their new cams have had problems but problems occur when they are not run in right from installation!
