who makes the ab07 cams?

[richyx]

having read what mark shead replied on my thread about the ab07 cams, who makes them? so i can get a rough price please

[ksa-cossie]

Kent iirc Richie. I'm after one too.

[richyx]

thanks mate

im gona wait for the results mark gets as i really fancy going gt30 on a std engine

[Nash]

I have ran one for a good few years now and even my pre-war set up was alot more responsive after i had it fitted and mapped.

[richyx]

cool, i have heard great results from this cam, but id like to leave the bottom end stock as its a low milage engine ive managed to get, the heads off ready for an uprated gasket, just dont know what gasket to go for yet, and duno wether i should get the head ported or not

[Nash]

Richy I ran a WRC Gasket and had not problems at all, this was with standard head bolts awell. I had the head very lightly skimmed and the block had been decked about 4k miles before so i just gave it a good clean up.

Porting the head is a different though, depends how much power you want from the car, what you want to do with it, and how much cash you want to spend. My head only had the ports cleaned and i am happy enough with the way the car drives and how well it goes. My spec is very old skool but i am happy with how the car goes and drives. I cannot justify the £3k it would cost me to get a more responsive engine that gained me say 40bhp topend. Building from scratch is a different kettle of fish though.

i can get the head done at a local firm to me who deal with race engines for old skool v12 jags, they also do all the local skyline tuners work aswell for good prices so i can have it ported and done to what ever spec i say, my last one was 26mm inlet and 25mm exhaust ports, polished combustion chamber,, 3 angle valve seats etc, but my bottom end was also lightened blanaced polished, cosworth forged pistons with 7.2-1 ratio

[Nash]

Your always going to be slightly limited on what power you can make because you have no valve cut outs so limits your cam choices a hell of alot. I dont have a clue what sort of power Mark will get but i look forward to seeing the results.

steve 4i i getting close to 480 on his car. iirc his engine is close to standard lightly cleaned up ports ab07 cam fitted and mapped by Turbosystems

[cossiedavid]

any body know how ab07 cam compares over a bd16 cam power wise

[ksa-cossie]

up

[mark shead]

any body know how ab07 cam compares over a bd16 cam power wise

It will make less power as its not made for that spec engine,its prob the best stock engine cam made.

[dom123]

mark would you say i would gain by fitting one of these cams instead of my bd14inlet cam?

my engine tt38 26mm inlet port 24mm exhaust currently making 447.5bhp

[ksa-cossie]
