Kent 234Supersport or not ?

[moto]

Is anyone running a Kent 234Supersport cam in a 5 litre for road use with a Mark Adams chip setup. If so I'm interested in the difference it makes.

If you have this setup I'd appreciate some advice.

Cheers.....

It that anything like TVR Power's Taraka cam, which I know is also a Kent cam?

Check it out with either Tim LAmont at ACT who is aware of most guises of TVR installations, I think it may bethe same cam, or very similar, to that was fitted to the SEAC.
Mark Adams, who will eventually do the chipping for it has seen every variation will also advise but can be difficult to get hold of.
V8 developements, whilst they produce 'rival' cams they can and will offer advice, very friendly chaps speak to Ray or Shaun.
If it is the 'old' 234 grind all I wil say is that developement has moved on a bit in this area and you will have to go along way to beat the latest V8D grinds, MC1/MC2 hydraulic or 404 solid, IMHO.

Harry is right, SEAC used the kent 234, we were just the other day involved with a Griffith which used a 234, the power and torque delivery was incredible, but not sure how long the cats will last, also idle speed has to be set at 1100-1200, not much torque until 3500 then all hell breaks loose
to give you an idea of the 234 overlap/ spec on a non cat car a 234 would be doing well to get down to 1100 ppm hydrocarbons and 3.5% co.
Personally i would go for a 218 or derivative of like V8 Developments MC1 or the hydraulic 404 which is a little "hotter" but not as peaky as the 234

All these cams mentioned are produced by Kent, speak to V8 Developments for more details 01775 750000
