Engine will have a ported flowed GRP1 big valve head, forged pistons, steel rods and 12:1 compression (needs to run on 98RON)

Any/all constructive feedback will be appreciated :-)

Paul T is a Kent dealer. Why not have a chat to him?

That is the cam that I have although I am yet to use the engine. 98RON for tarmac rally in the classic section?? I believe you can use unleaded racing fuel but maybe you are choosing not to....

Paul you really want something with a little less duration say 305-306 with similar figures at .050" and closer lobe centres

Cam lobes should be hitting the spray bar.
Ivan Tye cam. R code for a Pinto. Or
I recommend the cross drilled cams Danny can supply.
