V8 camshaft (for Badger)

The Cyclone is a new cam, they haven't reprinted the catalogue yet! It's part number is DW252, cost is £127.39, tested torque figures were 253 lbf.ft at 3500rpm and 256.7 lbf.ft at 4000rpm. BHP should increase by roughly 20-25, all figures for 3.9 engines, quoted direct by Real Steel. Bear in mind, this cam is for EFI only, recommended use is for 3.9 and larger. It's a very similar cam to RiPoffInternational's RP4. The Hurricane is a good cam, but will give more bhp at high rpm's - at the expense of low rpm torque. Great if going from a 3.5 to a 4.6 conversion, but not much use in a landy if not increasing the capacity to keep the bottom end torque up. Badger.

I will be putting it in a 3.9i Discovery (auto) that most of the runs on lpg. I would prefer more low down torque than outright power. Is the cyclone suitable for autos ? Thanks Richard

Badger Hi,

I just e-mailed RealSteel asking for their composite headgaskets sets and their products catalogue and pricelist.

I told them that you have recommended them to me.

Would it be possible to also send me an e-mail with your phone and e-mail address. I am always looking for people who know the LR/RR V8 engines well and hope we can promote and mutually beneficial way of cooperation.

Take care Pantelis Giamarellos LR CLUB OF GREECE

conversion,

On or around Fri, 4 Feb 2005 10:50:28 +0000 (UTC), "Badger" enlightened us thusly:

I guess the "stump puller" will be the one for low-end torque. Judging only by its name.

Actually, the 3.9 hillrally racer we fitted one to got the biggest increase in the upper mid with the stump-puller, but then it was rear engined and running stage 2 heads, "bunch o' bananas" exhausts and a DTA Race management system for both fuel and ignition, with some serious ignition advance in the mid range. We tried it dialled in at +2, and 0 in the end I think. That engine's now in its 6th season of competitive use, with no known issues. Badger. Badger.
