Had a diagnostic run on the rollers this morning and it look like my poor old camshaft is how shall we say ... shagged

Having seem the acreage set aside for cam discussions in this forum in the past few years ( at the time of no use to me so havn't really paid attention ) can you good folks give me a summary of what you know to be true about the choice of performance upgrades, as I feel the need to at least boost the performance to help justify the cost of replacement ( and also to make up for my woeful lack of driving talent )

Perhaps a summary as such

Cam Id - Pro's - Con's - Others mods required - Cost - Suppliers


This can maybe be kept somewhere for all to refernce as some "Wiki" or something ? I'll tidy up the info if you guys can let me know your thoughts, and I'll trawl through the seach facility when I can

I'm after as much performace increase as I can get away with, with no or minimal mods and good tractability ( don't want much do I ? )

What do ya think chaps ?

Cheers Moose


ps looks like the Growl numbers maybe down by one this year - Save me a big space in the "others" car park ;-)

If you can wait until after the Growl, why not sample a few cams wink

Happy to take you out in mine with H404.

Excellent idea and a very Kind offer Dave, one which I will gladly take you up on

Be great to get a selection as you say, and what better place

You there on saturday ?

There's no rush to chose but obviously I would like it sorted as soon as possible but can certainly wait til after the Growl

Be nice to have a ride in a Griff even if I can't bring my own

Cheers

There is one guy who knows probably more about RV8 cams than anyone else on the planet : rob at V8developments. Don't make a choice without speaking to him at some point, it could save you a lot of time smile

Just fitted a stealth to mine .Absolute bargain £350 full kit on ebay they are from v8 dev. Timing it in was fairly straight forward seeems nice and smooth and pulls better than before though mine was a little worn. The anoying over run rattles have now all gone, Many thanks to V8 dev for there help and advice.
