    Hey peeps need your advice.

    At the moment i have a EZ engine with a 4-1 manifold, Weber carb conversion, Im thinking about getting a fast road cam but i have three questions.
    1- Where can i get 8v cams cant find them anywhere only 16v.
    2- What sort of cam would be good choice. i have heared some things about newman recently but what about Piper or Kent????
    3- What else would i need its got a newish cambelt on less than a year old but what about pully ect cheers


    Cheers peeps

    Kent, Piper and Newman all do 8v cams.

    However, if you really want more power, you'd be better off with a 1.8 or 2.0 bottom end. They're higher compression as well as bigger capacity.

    Also, a mate of mine has a solid tappet 1600 head with a race cam in it. Drop me a PM if you want to know more.
