Can anyone recommend which route to take....ive a 2.0l Pinto in a Tiger Avon. Its 0.5mm o/size on the bores and fitted with bike carbs. My winter plans are to fit megajolt ignition, a vernier pulley and a camshaft...but which one to choose. Ive looked at Kent cams and i'm down to 3, the high torque, the mild road or the fast road. Its a road car which may get the odd track day, i think i'll be looking at acceleration improvements right through the gears and good driveability, i dont want something that comes on at 4000rpm, probably more like 2000. Any constructive comments welcome also any other cam recommendations other than Kent..
Thanks

I'd go for the FR32 for that spec of engine

In a car as light as these are you don't really need a lot of torque, personally I would think a fast road cam would be best.

Kent FR32, Piper 285 or one of the Newmans ones

Piper cams linky

newmans cams linky

looks like being the FR32 fast road cam then....thanks

......or the piper, or the newman...

I had a fr32 cam kit in mine it went very well

Another +1 for Newman cams. Just fitted a pair of fast road into my 1.8 K series and they came in about £80 less than piper etc. I also did a lot of reading up on forums and got a lot of very good feedback. I can tell the difference but really need to get it on a RR and have it remapped to get the best out of them.

all 3 makes are very popular

I went for the piper 285 in mine - slightly higher lift and slightly shorter duration than the kent / newmans ones (not got it running yet though...)

the engine builder I use likes newmans race ones (he builds stock car engines for a living)

Just go for the FR33, fast road. The loss of low down drievability is virtually unnoticable in a locost.

I had one fitted to mine and it would still quite happily pull from 30mph in 5th if you were in town or traffic.
