My old 2wd ran twin 14's on a ported head, T34.48 & 803's. It only pulled 24psi, but used to pull really well, bottom end wasn't great, but held it's own against a lot of supposedly more powerful cars. As long as you dint mind the lack of midrange torque compared to a STD cam, they are great if you lime revving the engine.
what sort of size exhaust ports would you say Jimbo. i know its not just a out size ( so she keeps telling me) but shape too, but just so i have an idea. Neil Roper is going to be doing the work.
what sort of power/torque do you think this setup would make?
i had a std exh cam in mine but the head was heavily ported. Was running a Mountune K2 inlet and was one of Harvey's 400 conversion - fucking awesome it was
i have 16/14 combo on mine tbh with my driving style prob not the best for me,as i am abit of a pussy and dont revving her to hard really need to keep her in the 5-8k rev band as thats where the power if
she is insured now but has no plates and has no tax so i am getting there lol, i have not yet looked into the studs yet where did you get yours from?i presume reyland?
for a road car i would stick with standard sticks, for added brutality then add cams and time it properly, dont forget cams MUST have piston pockets otherwise valves and pistons kiss and touch............ mmmmmmmm lovely lol

Pete,as mentioned above,Sheady will run a standard ex cam way over 550bhp.
Doug,my 16/14 combo,I think it's a little lazy coming on boost due to the bd14 ex cam,that's what Sheady said when he drove my car.I am going back to a standard ex cam with the bd16 inlet cam.
yes we removed the 14 exhaust out of the 500 race car for a slightly smaller cam and made a whole lot of difference go to big on exhaust cams and yeh you might see power very late on but not full useable power

its all down to timing, that engine may have been a top endy engine
like i said, 3500 bd 14 ex and 28psi on a non bb t4 is excellent imho and it revs well peaking at 7k so why would you want a smaller cam ?

its all old hat now Jim and been proved not the best cam for the job ! after spendin a fair amount of time with Julian Godfrey and Scot with the spec on the brooklyns car being thrashed out i wouldnt use a 14 exhaust cam mate as they proved without doubt its not worth it
