my sri was running just a four branch and a exhaust system on the f13 box and that came on the rollers at 95bhp

but when the headgasket went i got the head skimmed put a kent nv062 camshaft and kent pulley k&n filter. since then it aint run right what soever everything is timed up bang on but had nothing but trouble so i wouldnt reccomend any of the work ive had done tbh

alotof my mates tonight have said they wudnt touch a cam with an injection system aswell :( im thinking a 1.3 box on it but then it wont be as quick top end, spose you cant haveit both ways tho :(

That cams designed for an injection engine so no idea why it runs bad. You could hear the idle lumpiness at the rr yesterday.

was it suppose to run that lumpy though

the only thing i can think is the camshaft is knackered maybe

its still causing me trouble now :confused:

Get a new speedometer, yours is wrong lol

I think Stu still has gearbox info in the link in his sig, might be worth checking that out if you want to get through the revs quicker.

Ditching some weight might get you up to speed a tad faster as well.

No it shouldn't lumpy at all, idle should be as smooth as standard.

Was the cam you bought definently the one you fitted(same part number)

yeah checked when it went in the car kent nv062 was stamped at the end of the shaft mate

summit not right somewere what would cause it to run like that
