What cam do you all reccommend for my fresh 1700 build.
I'll be using bike carbs, poss GSXR600, and electrinic dizzy (poss megajolt in future).
Car will be primarily for the road, but a few trackdays would be nice.
I was thinking Piper 285 or Kent 234. Any other suggestions, or reasons to avoid either of the above?
Don't really want to machine pistons, but would if I felt it useful. BTW, head is ported GT spec (Stage 2?)

Going to use a Kent cams BCF2K kit in mine , not the hottest cam I know but should give improvements over standard item . Picked a new kit off ebay for £50.00 which is a good enough reason to use it.

Got a Piper 270 in at the moment, got about the same lift as a BCF2, but slightly less duration.
Looking for something a bit more hairy.

I can highly recommend the Holbay R120 cam.It's of 286 duration and comes in at about 2500 and is immensely road driveable with bags of torque.My 1720 made 136bhp @ the flywheel with this cam,gas flowed Mexico head and twin 40's.

Just been looking on Newman Cams website, Their PH3 looka a useful piece of kit, and cheaper than Piper/Kent.
