    No one will be able give you an answer, as afaik no ones tried it.

    I fitted a ast2 on my old 1400 spi engine, and it wouldn't run, at all
    It would just fire/pop when cranking, put the std cam back in and it was fine.

    The only way to find out is to fit the cam and see.....

    If i remember correctly B8GHY used to run a BP285(which is same as ast2) on his SRi and he sed it made it rev harder and turned it into a little bit of a beast!

    As for power, its unknown. The SRi engine is 82bhp standard 15 years ago, so the cam and a service may well bring it back up to 80-85bhp ish.
