If you ask how it compares to standard, you aint sure you have been "done" ?

Get yourself along to the TVR Power rolling road day and see how it goes on their rollers, and compare to any standard cars on the day. For 3700 pounds youd really want 310/320hp.

320 is what is promised, so thats what you get !

If you want a 320bhp speak to Jamie at Castle Race Engines he built an engine for someone using a Real steel 'Stump puller' cam, blue printed bottom end with an Emerald. A genuine 320bhp i belive on Jools at Trackcar's rollers

[clarkmagpie]

mine has rolling roaded at 300bhp

goes like sh!t off a stick though

That's strange. "Stump Puller" usually means a very short cam which is very good for bottom end torque (hence the name) but relatively poor for top end power.

Have a look on Real steels website they quote figures for a 4.0 and 4.3. I am not saying this is a perfect cam, just on that particular rebuild it worked. I am sure that V8D have similar cams that work. Horses for coureses and all that
