Hi.
I am looking for a set of new camshafts for my SPICA engine. I have read numerous threads on this topic but they are either so old that the cams in question are not available any more or they all end with "use euro cams".
I already have "euro cams" installed in the engine. I am looking for something hotter but still works with the stock pump. I want something that is good up to 6000 rpm. Not looking for a screamer.
The engine was restored a few years ago (it has run less than 3000km since then).
The top is very mildly ported. Mostly cleaning up the intake and exhaust channels and at the same time removing any lip on the intake manifold and exhaust.
It has Borgo 10.4 pistons and the stainless exhaust from Alfaholics, including their headers.
And currently 10548xxx standard 2000 euro camshafts.
Have anybody tested centerline 11.1mm camshafts or their 10.5mm euro+?
Also piper cams are available
and Kent cams.(didn't find any suitable cams)
and Cat cams.
Alfaholics have their own design as well but they don't give any information on their website (except price).
Do they any of these work on a stock spica and if so what kind of increase, compared to what I have now, would I get?
I know C&B have a few options as well but many complain about their design being old.
I anybody has tried any of these I would really like to hear your thought.
I also know that Richard Jemison here on the board make good cams but no info on price or availability.
Thanks
