Pinto camshaft

Which performance camshaft is best for power in a 2 litre pinto with ported injection head running new plus 1mm cast ae pistons and zx6r bike carbs

And what is the proven power output

looking at around 6500 to 7000rpm max to keep it reliable

I had a Kent FR32 in my 2.1similar spec to yours but with a standard injection head and it was very good gave 128bhp, I always felt that it could take a bit more cam so the FR33 could be a very good one.
To make the cam work you need compression so push it to 10.5 to 1.
Pintos like lift but not to much duration so 300 degs max but as said earlier compression makes the cams work, your pistons are safe to 10.5 to 1 but i am pushing my AE pistons to about 10.7

I was thinking along the lines of fr33 kent cam


Andy what are your winter mods

and your right more power will help me up woodhead but i never for one min thought that a 1.6 pinto would beat a 1.8 zetec

ps if the book is available to borrow that would be nice
