Title: Best place to buy new cams
Post by: martin347 on July 22, 2009, 12:55:28 PM

I have a pair of 256 degree cams in my engine at the moment, but am looking at getting something abit meatier. Anyone got any recomendations? I'm looking at around 278 degree and want to stay with the hydraulic lifters.
Cheers, Martin. P.s, I don't mind regrinds.

Sorry, should of said I live in the Uk. So preferably companys that have a branch in the UK.
My old cams will be available if anyone is interested, pm me with an offer. I'll check this but I think they're 256 degree with 10.5mm of lift.

+1 they make very good cams from forged blanks, and they also make solid lifters as well as other items.
