Hi all,
i am looking into buying a cam for my XF N/A setup. i have been looking through old threads for about an hour or so but havnt found exaclty what im looking for. my car has a 250 EFI block with a reco C2 head shaved for 10:1comp with heavy duty springs and collets in it. the ignition system is standard with good leads and plugs, i have a straight gas system and 3.23 gears with an auto. i am looking for something that gives good midrange and can be used in this combination. i am thinking the wade 877,242a wades or the crow 14776, 14892. which do people recommend, what are your experiences and what results might i acheive? will i have clearance issues considering the head is shaved down a fair bit? also are new retainers requried for these sort of cams? and finally what is involved in dialling up a cam for best results, how is this done and can i do it at home? note my car is also an auto and used daily, basically i want a good increase in low down torque and midrange power. a bit of a lumpy idle is good but as long as its dosnt require to feet at the traffic lights and i dont want to destry my fuel economy. an all round performer basically. thoughts and experiences? Cheers |
