And what is your cam timing?
  (Your cam centerline of the intake lobe ATDC)

  Subject: [Fot] Tr6 Race CAr Cam


  Having now had several successful track outings, I have come to an =
observation about my car's performance.  It is a petrol injected TR6.  =
Flowed head, Goodparts header, and cam whose maker I now cannot =
remember.  320 degrees, .5 lift at valve, and pretty early and long =
symmetrical input/exhaust valve timing. 104 degrees lobe separation.


  Car reves past 7000 rpm easily in 4th [4:11 rear end].  The problem is =
low/midrange torque..  I was slightly out dragged by good Spitfires =
coming out of turn 10 onto the straight at Laguna.  By turn 1 I was =
faster than them.  Power comes on too late and torque needs to improve =
at low end.  Looking for recommendations on a more appropriate duration =
and input/exhaust open/close timing.


  More importantly, I need a recommendation for cam vendor/recommended =
grind.  Had a Kastner S9 in my last [now stolen] car -- but the =
gentleman who did the grinding  has pasted on and Moon Eyes no longer =
does them.


  I know I have not said enough about the current cam -- just I am away =
from home and do not have the cam grind card with me.
