Kent CVH35K has always worked very well for me.

I would go for either a Newman cam or genuine Ford.

I had a 285T2 and a lightly uprated head on my old S2 and it went like a bastard, if I was doing it again these days, I'd likely look into a Newman after the stuff I've read on here.

I've had a few 285t2 and don't rate them. Out dated, poor quality ( wear out quick) and creat a lag monster then big torque serge.

yeah with a -31 and a decent tuner (MFI is a fiddly f*cker at times) 200bhp is easily achieved
then you can start saving for gearboxes lol
