Upgrade to a Kent Cam Cvh35 i think... and get a power Pully width it to get the timming just Right....

You get more power 15-20 bhp...out of that and more torq

With a T3 and no head work then a CVH 34 is a better choice. The 165 prog and Std Injectors will run out of fuel at 165ish HP. If you run a big cam (CVH35/ Piper T2) you'll be running very lean after 5800rpm and I'm sure you know what than means!

If you ditch the Std Inj and have a custom chip done by Ahmed, then run the 701's or bigger, you should consider the CVH35 as it is the best for mid and top end.

I can give you a great deal on any camkit - mail me at ian.howell@zetecturbo.com

Ian,

Would the Piper285T2 cam be alright with beige injectors though?

The 285T2 will never be right! Piper copied the CVH35 and altered the LCA by 8 degrees so not to be had under copyright laws - The ended up robbing all the energy that was available to spool up a turbo in the 3-4k region, but gained slightly on the top end HP.

Most people buy a T2 and think it's a fantastic cam because it's hardcore at the top end, but any CVH35 owner will know the diff immediately as the T2 feels gutless until it's seriously ragged. Back to the T2/ beige enquiry, it makes no difference at all!

Sorry Andy, didn't really answer correctly - Yes, using the beige inj will mean a wilder cam can be supported providing the fuel mapping is addressed and the fuel pump is upgraded!

I'd say CVH34 and then progress to CVH35 when you get more work done to the engine. It's what I'm doing :)
