Camshaft profiles

[Derek Smith]

I got this email from a chap in South Africa. I wonder, can anyone help?

"I am competing in the Standard V8 class at the local Dirt Oval track racing club. Please see: http://www.peovaltrack.com/

"According to the rules, I can substitute the cam in my Rover V8 with one of which I can prove that a thousand or more where used in production engines. I am therefore hoping to use one of the TVR cams or equivalent replacement. The rules do not specify yet but it will probably be corrected soon, that the replacement cam must be from an engine that has as 220kw output or less stated by the producers. This would exclude the cams from the 4.5BV and 500HC motors.

"I would therefore really appreciate it if you could give me a further breakdown of production quantities of the different engine sizes of the Griffith and Chimaera.

"If at all possible I would also like to know the lift and duration of the various TVR cams mentioned on your site.

I hope that you'll be able to help me with this, so I can be competitive at the first race of the season in February."

Thanks for any help.

Dom At TVR-Power should know and could possibly supply the cam.
