Kent RL21 cam any good for an injection setup?
Basically as the subject, will it be any good?, is a second hand cam c/w followers a good thing or a definite nono?
Answers on a postcard....

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

S/H cam and followers is fine provided it not obviously worn and the followers have been kept in the correct order, i.e. each cam lobe should be
matched to it's original follower.
However, the RL21 is possibly a little too "hairy" to be used with the original flap type air flow meter which get quite upset with the
strong pulses that are produced in the inlet manifold from long duration/high lift cams.

Mark,
I fitted an FR34 to the pinto with the standard ECU. Felt a lot quicker.
On the other hand, how about joining the bandwaggon and going Megasquirt and doing away with the restrictive MAF?
Cheers,
Colin

I just have a standard cam with wear reduced lobes, so even a std replacement will probably feel faster, just thought I would upgrade at the same
time. I have already drilled out my spray rail. Megasquirt, sounds very complicated to me

Unfortunately, he wants three times what the FL21 went for, I would have bought it to give it a try if a little cheaper, but at that price, it needs a
little more weighing up
