L14 Camshaft

[Jerome]

Hi,
As usual, I post a topic, when I've a technical point to discuss....

A friend of mine is rebuilding his TC Engine, he is interested by the Kent L14 camshaft, but before buying it, he would like to know if it's a good choice for a fast road use.
Did someone experimented those camshaft in this area ?

Thanks in advance

Jerome,

I have been told that they are very similar if not the same as QED 420 cams and are a good cam for 140/145 bhp, also giving good torque.

Sounds to me like they would be good for fast road use.

Due to this cam's longer duration it will move the power & torque higher up the rev range. Peak power at around 7000 rpm, OK if the bottom end is built to take this. If not you may be better with a shorter duration to have more torque lower down.

BHP sells cars, torque wins races.

thanks a lot
