2.0 Zetec Blacktop Cam Adive - Please

Hi,

I've had a roadster with a new 2.0L blacktop on the road now for a year and it's time to upgrade for the summer and track days. The engine is running on zx6r carbs and megajolt. Money is a bit tight so throttle bodies are out of the question.
My first thought would be kent or piper fast road cams, has anyone any experience of this and is it worth it. Also is installation straight forward?

Many Thanks...Andy

being a black top the followers will need re shiming.

It wont be a cheap job with cams aswell.

a rolling road session will get the best from the current set up. Dave walker managed to get 10bhp or so more from the Bro in laws car but increased the Torque massively. a set of cams would only give you 12 or so BHP and then need setting up proffessionaly to extract optimum power

New shims are £1.28 from ford, turned out cheaper then getting the ground!!!
