You could try TVR power for a standard cam. Paul at Austec has several different grinds for the AJP.

Update - Looks like we can get our hands on a pair of cams and a set of buckets/followers. Not cheap though! Has anyone got any unwanted odds and sods lying around ?
It`s a 97 AJP 4.2.

jamie at castle race engines was developing his own range of cams, so might be worth call too

Jamie is ex-TVR power, so plenty of experience with the AJP.

Have you picked one yet? - perhaps one like Craig's open weekdays, weekends and bank holidays grind?

Not yet, all the current bench running is being done on No4 grind, including the cam timing exprimentation.

ETA I was quiet shocked at how wild even No4 is, the lobes are massive , Craigs (No6) is no more wild (Ok perhaps a mm)but with lots more duration a 24/7 cam .

I`m not really too bothered about "clatter" cams.

Interestingly, Wayne who`s working on it over at Guglielmi, said it`s down on power. Didn`t seem like it to me! 3rd gear wheelspins etc..... (Although the rear tyres were ed)

I have a pair of the early clatter cam's spare.

PM Email if your interested.
