I am making some small changes to a MG 1300 engine,can anyone suggest a fast road cam that would give better torque, without sacrificing the idle speed to much,ThanksFitzy

The MG metro cam is an excellent all round cam and can produce excellent results. You dont mention if the engine is still in a metro, or if anything else on the engine is modified etc etc, there maybe other roads for you to get the torque if most of the rest of the lump is std. A maniflow LCB exhaust manifold, K&N AND an hour on a decent rolling road may get what you're after or point you in the right direction. Just saying you have a MG 1300 is a bit vague. I liked the 276 scatter cams myself - for the road.Chris

What Cam ?

What others may not have said is that the 850 cam can be ground to make a higher lift than some of the other thicker cross section cams.

Hi Fitz

If I had the money I would go for a good road/rally scatter cam around the 276/286 duration.

I think that would give the best compromise between power torque and drivability!

High lift rockers with that would be a good option to get the best out of it!
