DW260 spec here on the cams page

I've used this cam with the 4.6 and the 4.9 Rover V8 and found it to be pretty good for my needs. Please note that they recommend the valve spring kit and having the spring pans on the heads lowered so you can set the fitted height of the springs with shims. I subsequently fitted a crower mech cam and solid lifters to the 4.9 when I started adding nitrous back in.

Re: turbo camshaft
I use the Real Steel blower/turbo cam in my 5.0 twin turbo Rv8 and it gives good results. All hell breaks loose when the turbos kick in. However, I'm not convinced that it doesn't causes some contamination of the inlet charge due to turbine back pressure. It may be better suited to a blower set up.capriandyb1 wrote:Hi just a quick question...has anyone used the blower/turbo camshaft from real steel?
In comparison to a standard 3.9 cam it lost some low down grunt as expected but pushes better between 4000-5000 rpm. A rolling Road is really the only way to compare but I've not got round to that yet.
It also lost 3-4 MPG compared to a 3.9 cam but I don't care about that.

I've used this cam and it worked well for me! Just had it on the Dyno and got 440 hp/ 430 torque at the flywheel but more importantly it pulls really well from tickover, no shunting & endless torque so definitely recommended.
Could have made 490 + hp but we pulled the tune in a little due to having standard pistons...

It should work ok, but I'd maybe have some concerns about MOT emissions.Coops wrote:im looking at trying the crower 50234 cam with my new engine set up and the charger,

They are huge, but at 3.5% and 1200ppm, it doesnt take a huge amount of overlap for the hydrocarbons to start rising.SimpleSimon wrote:Thats something you will never need to worry about on that era of car IMO the limits are huge in gas termsCoops wrote:Yeah was OK mate regarding the emissions flew through.
CO shouldnt be a problem though
