VR6 Lee 0 Posted April 13, 2017 The last email I got from kent when I stated that there was a difference in 'lift' between kent and schimmel cams they said the below Yes our cams are fast road grinds and the lift difference is minimal. Our have slightly more duration. So power is about the same Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 14 Posted April 13, 2017 Had Kent Cams on a Firenza HPF many years ago, coupled with think twin Webber 48's from memory and full engine rebuild, went very, very well. Kent normally do them in 3 profiles from memory, 2 for road, one full race, it's just about the amount barely tickover etc., and without other engine mods. to back up could be counter productive. Easier in days you just got bigger carbs, manifold exhausts, maybe fruity pistons and overbore to match. Kent used to specialise in Ford engines, Vauxhall to lesser extent, just based on relative rarity of VR6 in UK Schimmel probs got more experience and testing, prtobs more driveability. The running in process is vital too from memory. i thought running in process was only vital when a full rebuild had taken place? i asked vince about such during my head rebuild & he said no need when just adding cams & remap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So power is about the same so the time that the extra lift is open does have an impact on power output, i thought it might Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted April 13, 2017 I'm not biased or anything but 263s are the best cams for the vr6. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 Lee 0 Posted April 13, 2017 Many years ago they were developed in engines,As are all our cams. when the engine was in production. I don’t have any power graphs anymore. Thats the last corespondence from Kent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted April 13, 2017 Isn't it Subcool that has a TSR engine conversion? I'm sure they fitted Kent cams to their engines? Maybe he has a power graph? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
