Apparantly I have one in a spare engine. Pm numbers I need to check and il have a look :) if it is you can make me an offer :)
EDIT don't get hopes up as it's only what I've been told
Sorry for spam but out of interest what different from the Irmscher cam to say a Ast2 or a Piper one ?
Not much Edd, if ive no luck with the irmscher/enem cam then ill probaly go for a kent ast2.
I did contact Enem (very hard work) a few years ago and they were able to make 'new' ones..... but funk me they wanted shiney money for it.

Rich (Novasport) has a new one but won't part with itlol
He was lookng at getting it copied by one of the manufacturers as a group buy, needed @ 10 people, if you search you'd find the thread, but stalled, I was on the list;)
I run a Piper 285 in mine currently, happy with it;)

Yes Royston had heard of Richs new one. lol
I was one of the ones that had put my name down in the group buy aswell.
If i cant get a second hand one i will either go for a piper 285 or kent AST2

i had one..might still have it actually.
I bought a 1300 'rally' engine, it had been sitting in boxes for years. when i got it i thought it might of been a sport engine becuase it had the enem cam in it.
i ran that cam in my sr with 40's for a while..
If its any help I spoke to Enem a couple of years back and they wanted around £250 for the X17 cam(or Y17 as they seem to call it).
Eurorallye seem to have a few pop up for sale every so often but only if you buy the rally engine with them in!
why not speak to kent, piper or catcams, I'm sure they will grind one to that spec for about £200
If I could get the profile or details on the cam then I could get one made via catcams as iv recently set up a trade acount with them.

Any idea on costs, there is potential for a group buy from "Sport" Owners;)
Never heard of catcams, are they any good?

I can find out a rough cost for you, then go from there if want.

Are enem cams the best power gain cam? Or do people want them as optional extra for sport?

There are probably better cams out there its just the 108 cam is THE cam to have on a Sport.
My Sport had one fitted from new but it does not feel that 'cammed up' TBH(Poss helped by the gear ratios on the SCCR box) but it does bog down if you don't give it enough gas when pulling away.
I do also have a new 108 cam as Royston says and I was going to get it copied but I could not get enough people on the list. I was going to send it to Piper to be done as they can copy the profile without physically touching it to measure it. It was the last one Irmscher had and poss the only new one left so I am a bit reluctant to let it out of my possesion and don't want it damaged.
Im only after the enem cam untill i can afford to build the engine to the spec i want.
BUMP
Might consider a Kent AST2 now.
sport - what spec are you looking at building out of interest?

At the moment just standard so was after the Irmscher or Enem cam as that was the option at the time. If i cant get one of them then the Kent AST2 as thats about the same spec as the others.
Once the cars up and running then i fancy a bit of engine work and a better cam than the ones above, as for the actual spec i would have to speak to my engine builder as im not that technically minded lol
One last bump for an irmscher/enem cam.
