Kent AB07 Inlet Cam Questions
Wondered if anyone has experience with this cam.
Was it worth upgrading to?
What kind of spec were/are you running with this am fitted?
Do you need double valve springs?
Wheres best to buy from?
Cheers Billy

the cam was designed by Ahmed bayjoo and is designed to fit in a stock engine ie stock valve train and stock pistons
we have achieved some amazing figures with this cam

It depends if your engine is currently apart or not. If it is then i would get the pistons pocketed now and double valve springs in the head and then you are done.

I used the ab07 briefly, made 471bhp on a T4 at just below 2 bar. Would have made more if we didn't have to abort mapping for various reasons.

the stock exhaust cam works well for road cars with tall road gearing and mild spec road engines
