Blacktop Camshafts
My first post, so here goes.....
I have 2.0l blacktop Zetec E. It is running on throttle bodies and an emerald ecu - I am getting about 160bhp.
I have just bought a ported and polished head and am looking to put some highlift cams in it but they all seem to be at a crazy price - £400+ for burton or piper new.
I am aiming primarily for acceleration rather than top end. Can someone point me at some reasonable priced stage 2 (if that would be best?) camshafts please?
Thanks

Most company's stage two cams will require uprated valve springs which is going to cost you another £150 or so on top.
You could go for Crower stage 1's, they don't need uprated valve springs and are a mid range cam so they won't give you a huge hike in power but will liven things up below 6000rpm...

CFM have a great reputation and will export. $367 is £222 at today's exchange rate, don't forget to add shipping and 20% VAT on top.
