Well - if i had your credit card in my hand i would have ordered either a Piper A8 or KentFR33 by now. Probs the 33 as ive experienced Mookaloids car
with one in.
I would have also just dropped my head off to have big valves fitted and a decent porting job as well.
What is the long number across the middle????

Just sorted finances and have £3000 sat in the bank just for spending on the car
Let the spending begin!
Thinking I should go for the FR33 kit.....

On my choice I'm now (ignoring the advice not to overcam and probably regret it) going either Piper A8/Kent RL30 (both very similar) or Kent
FR33 on the basis that Kent FR32 doesn't have the valve lift and Piper 285 doesn't have the duration.
Won't be till next year I'll know though if I've made the right choice.

Are you going to spend the whole £3k on the engine? if so Duratec is the way forward.

Where did you order from? Did you shop around for the best deal?
I am in a similar situation to you, so this thread makes good reading!
Thanks

For future reference for others I've narrowed down my pinto 2.0 cam choice as follows:-
1) If I can live with 12.8mm valve lift I'll go Kent RL30 or Piper A8 304 degrees both with simlar timing 47/77 71/41
2) If not I'll go Kent FR33 or Burton BF30 at 11.7mm 300 degrees and again similar timing 42/75 74/43
3) Or if I heed advice not to over cam I will go FR30/P285/BF134 at around 11.9, 260, 20/60 60/20
Choice is really 1) or 2) depending on my engine builders view on valve lift & spring rates.
Shall visit him at the weekend and advise what feedback I get.
