I have a Kent 266, I like it a whole lot better then my other engine
with a Vizard VP7 which is close to the 276. With the 266 the power is
right there at 1000 rpms and right on up thru normal street driving. The
VP7 was a bit lumpy at idle and did not have the power off the line like
the 266.
My opinion.

I also have a VP-7 in my 1275, one major consideration from what I have been
through is the emissions regulations in my area. In short I have found it
impossible to pass the test with the Vizard cam in place. ( I would love to
here from others who may disagree, and have the solution) Now with that said
I do like the way it the motor runs except at idle which is slightly lumpy,
hence the emissions problem. I have not tried any other cams except the stock
grind so I don't know what the others are like. I do think this would be a
great subject for the list to take on. What are the experiences with the
different grinds???
