VJ5 cams??

PostPost by: thor » Wed Jul 27, 2005 2:39 pm

Getting a an S130/5 on monday (VERY excited!), with some mods.

As it's a 130 it's got the Big Valve, and it's PO has fitted Lumenition, had the head gas flowed and it's got VJ5 cams. What's this cam spec., has it got any bhp improvement, are they fast road cams giving a lumpy idle or what?

Hi Thor,
Sounds like a Vegantune cam. Many years ago Vegantune offered an
exchange twin-cam engine called the Sprint Special.
They claimed 130 bhp and 116 ft.lb. torque with VJ5 cams.
Sorry I don't have any specs. on the cams. Should be fine for the road.

Regards,
Peter.
