newman will only spec a cam to the profile ya give em !!!!, ava are the ones ya wanna buy the cam off as they give newman the spec they want, there good cams too, its about the right combination!!!

how high do ya want ya car to rev to and have ya got steel rods as if not ya car aint gonna need em, on and the adjustment of the solid cams aint like the hassle bollox ya get with the old ford engines, there ment to have spacers or somink that makes em foking easy to adjust , buy a 1.8 sierra rocker cover gasket and ya will be able to remove and re-use that gasket
