camshafts

[russlea]

hi guys.

i was just wondering what camshafts were better, if anyone has tried both. the ast2 cam from kent. or the NOV for a 1.4. not to sure what numbers are after. i think its nov62. cheers

[Nick]

What 1.4 ?

The Nvo series are suited for injection purposes i do believe.

[russlea]

really? i havnt got a clue to be honest. il look into it but i thought that you can use them on carb?

[russlea]

yes i was wrong. nvo are for injection. thanks anyway

the AST2 is a fantastic all round cam, good for moderate (or even extreme with the right build) tunes.

[Nick]

You can still use the NVO cams on the carb engine. It's just the profiles are quite alot different.

I went from an NVO52, which was great for driving around in e.t.c to an AST2. It's a little bit more of a pig - but i think that's down to my **** Carb Setup.

Im not sure what the 62 is... but i'd stick with the AST2. It's tried and tested

nvo62 is a 270deg cam iirc. Ok for injection engines.

AST 2 cam was on the list for the Sport, but went for a Piper 285 in the end, and I am very please with it

[russlea]

i will stick to the ast 2 then. cheers lads
