Hello mate my worrie about the 33 is that it will make it to revvy.But how many more horses did this cam give you.

well mines 130bhp with a std head and overbored bottom end and the twinchoke and I have the rolling road to prove if you had a good head and well sorted BEnd some 40's 160-170 should not be a prob mine goes to 150 ish on 40's

Run a 33 in my Mex, Produced 145 on the rolling road. Nice power curve. Used to run a Piper 285 which I thought was good as well. If it's mid-range power that you're after then I would definitely go for the torque'st cam you can find. Personally I prefer torque to outright BHP. makes accelleration quicker and driveability more reasonable rather that screaming the tits off the thing to get it anywhere!!!!!!!!!

Cheers lads Prob go for the 33 i suppose but the bloke at burtons may talk me out of it ..
