well i got my car back to the workshop with her new cam.quick question it felt like i lost some torque..will it be possible that they messed up with the timing or something else???i called the shop they told me the top sproket has different marking comapre to the original!!beside that the car runs fine..its goes to high rpm way faster than before.but i was expecting much more from it.i really do hope they did something wrong and that by fixing it prperly this time i ll get what i am looking for.i called ROB he said that with this cam i will actually get more torque.what is ur experience with the MC1???tks guys

Hi my orange chim guy!

Some timing sets have 3 markings, let's hope they aren't confused or the timing will be wrong.
It could still rev strongly but loose torque, only one way to find out!

MC1 in my 450 had a lot more torque than standard, or the 224 I had for a while.

As another poster said - it depends what was in the car previously.

You make no sense at all with that?

Overall if the torque is down how can the engine spin up faster.....

Torque is just about getting bhp as quickly as you can ~ where it is can make things feel different.

It may need more fuel..get it on the rollers..Have you ever checked your Fuel regulator.is you vac ppe connected and working ..needs some who knows how to set it up..MC1 is a good cam but its not going to turn it in to a rocket..Just pulls very well.
