V8 Cam shaft

(1/2) > >>

denzil:
I have a discovery 1 3.9 V8 which I love to bits, over the last year I have carried out a few mods these include a straight  throught
exhaust with four branch manifolds. I would like to change the cam in the next few weeks (122000 miles) but I am a bit confused
as to which cam to fit ie Piper, standard or high lift ect,ect.Has anyone  on here any advice to offer (please) ,I checked the compression
and its 160psi give or take 5psi,also I have a megasquirt to fit when I pluck up the courage. :undecided:

lambert:
Given what you have done so far i would go for a cam with some teeth but as to which i would talk to the manufacturer and ask them what they offer that matches the rest of the mods .

denzil:
Thanks what a good idea  :embarrassed: dooh. I will ring Piper and Kent lets see what they have to say.

Rossko:
Get clear in your own mind what you are trying to achieve before asking.  e.g. A maximum power race cam makes for rough idle and poor low speed pulling, and would be a right pain in an everyday driver.  Perhaps you want the opposite - low down torque is usually more appropriate in a Land Rover.  But its you to decide.

denzil:
Thanks for that Rossko ,to be honest after I changed the diffs to 4.12 to compensate for the 33in tyres I was really pleased with the
performance.I would be happy to fit a standard cam but I keep getting offered Britpart and a really don't want to fit that make. Who
else makes cam,s for V8 other than Piper or Kent?. :undecided:
