For my sins, i bought a Newman cam from a well know online auction site last year, new but unused.
I now realise my mistake, that i should have bought direct so i could specify the profile. Newman themselves couldn't help with identifying it as they do lots of different profiles to order (although they did tell me that all their A7 profiles are designed to run on standard profile lifters which was a crucial bit of info)
It's approximately 8.1mm lift (0.318") on both inlet & exhaust. I am wondering does anyone run a similar cam? And is that amount of lift race-cam spec?
Tomorrow eve i will get the block bolted down and measure the duration at the valves. My main concern is that it might be a bit high-rpm orientated for a road car. Any comment would be much appreciated
