Hi, Im currently using the sw5 cam in my 998, running a 1300 turbo head (10.5;1 cr), lightened and balenced bottom end, free flow exhaust manifold with full stainless rc40, flowed and matched maniflow inlet for twin inch 1 1/4 SU's, tailored dizzy, it produces a hearty 60bhp, it pulls from nothing, runs out of puff at 5500k, quite smooth drive tho, really enjoyable! have heard its very similar to the 997 cooper cam, when I asked them this on the phone the guy got VERY touchy. Could of choose a wilder and better cam for a few more horses but I happy for the drivability this provides.

110bhp on conservative rollers has been seen, 1460cc 5 port head with mg valves with said sw5 and 1.5:1 rockers. Its a ver good cam, but if you like that sort of thing there is a better to it already if you dont mind replacing the cam more often in the Morspeed 'Ph2' cam which has even more lift than the sw5 and only ever so slightly more duration. This is what im going to try in my turbo 998 and 1380 I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

here is a link to swiftunes website for the SW5 Camshaft! http://www.swiftune.co.uk/sw5.php they make big claims 
any one tried on with a turbo motor ??? anyone ! Around 97/98 or thereabouts, when I started earning a few 壣 again. I replaced my cylinder head that had major cracks between the valve seats with a SW item. I had to revert to the cracked head due to problems with another head I had purchased mid 1995. At that time, I also added a SW5 cam to go with the new head So while I cant give a back to back comparison with an identical setup, the SW5 and SW head combo defo felt like a better performer. My car was never near a dyno, and never made it to a strip in that format though. My old 1/4s were run with an Avonbar modified head ( which subsequently had larger ex valves fitted for PB time ) and MG metro cam. Always using 1.5r rockers. As it is, it will idle totally smoothly, pull WOT in 4th from around 1500rpm and is amazingly torquey at that, and rev cleanly to 7500rpm. There were a few chugginess issues mid range, but that was fuelling related. No widebands back then to assist. So I would say its an excellent cam. But then, so is an MG metro cam. Obviously Ive never used the Ph2 cam or other more modenr grinds. 9.85 @ 145mph

All taken from Mr Dodds reference area on the ML Motorsport forum...
First off is the excellent Swiftune SW5 road cam, these figures are based on my observations based on 2 new examples I measured about 2 years ago. The figures are to be read as average of the 2,
Checking height: 0.016" @ lobe Timing: (Intake): 16/48 (Exhaust): 52/12 Nominal lobe lift: (Intake): 0.281" (Exhaust): 0.281" Duration (Intake): 244 (Exhaust): 244 Lobe centre angle (Intake): 106 (Exhaust): 110 Lobe separation angle: 108 Lift on overlap: 0.036" Accuracy: Good Next is the much under used Kent 246 a nice all round road cam that has a little more bite than the SW5, these figures are based on kents own specs, plus with my own additions looking at 1 cam. Checking height: 0.016" @ lobe Timing: (Intake): 18/54 (Exhaust): 54/18 Nominal lobe lift: (Intake): 0.285" (Exhaust): 0.285" Duration (Intake): 252 (Exhaust): 252 Lobe centre angle (Intake): 108 (Exhaust): 108 Lobe separation angle: 108 Lift on overlap: 0.048" Accuracy: Good The Morspeed phase 2 (Fast road) Based on 1 example only; Checking height: 0.016" @ lobe Timing: (Intake): 20/52 (Exhaust): 56/16 Nominal lobe lift: (Intake): 0.305" (Exhaust): 0.298" Duration (Intake): 252 (Exhaust): 252 Lobe centre angle (Intake): 106 (Exhaust): 110 Lobe separation angle: 108 Lift on overlap: 0.048" Accuracy: Good This might also be of use, its a modern day Kent276 by morspeed, another very good cam! The Morspeed phase 3 (trackday cam) Based on 1 example only; Checking height: 0.016" @ lobe Timing: (Intake): 27/63 (Exhaust): 63/27 Nominal lobe lift: (Intake): 0.315" (Exhaust): 0.311" Duration (Intake): 270 (Exhaust): 270 Lobe centre angle (Intake): 108 (Exhaust): 108 Lobe separation angle: 108 Lift on overlap: 0.065" Accuracy: Good Edited by andeh on 28th Oct, 2006. I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Data for the PH2.
On 23rd of Sep, 2006 at 05:27pm TurboDave said:
Above is an image of the data for the "MED T3" camshaft... incidentally - exactly the same figures are used for the Avonbar Phase 2 camshaft (which i believe came out first)... I found it by trawling through various old posts. It has considerably more duration than the SW5 and a 110 degree LSA. I'm using the SW5 in my N/A 1275 that I'm using to develope EFI. It seems to work very well with the 2.76:1 diff. It will cruise at 80 at 3600rpm and you can still hear yourself speak. Plus it returns 45mpg. I don't think it is ideal for a turbo application. This is not based on any real experience, more on research on this forum. I think that it will need a higher LSA and more exhaust duration. The Piper BP270i looks a better option. More like the MG N/A cam but higher lift and 110 degree LSA. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

I know Nick Swift pretty well with 8 years of dealing with him. If he states it in his writings then based on my experience its true
I seriously doubt it! |

Im not doubting Swiftune, but they claim 'well over' 100bhp on a 1380 with twin carbs and 1.5 rockers............
AC Dodd said:
This one is a 1380 as built by Swiftune racing its one of there classics, big engine mild cam(SW5) nice head, 1.5 Roller tip rockers, Twin HS4 SU carbs, cone filters/stub stacks, Carbs was fitted with a Custom ACDodd needles and RED springs. Produced figures of 90.5bhp@ flywheel, and 86.7lbft @ 3500rpm respectively. Here are the exact figures if anybody want to plot them, runs taken in 3rd gear, power at wheels was 81bhp peak. Rpm Bhp Lbft 1500 20.41 71.46 2000 27.89 73.24 2500 35.71 75.03 3000 49.32 86.34 3500 57.82 86.77 4000 65.31 85.75 4500 73.47 85.75 5000 81.29 85.39 5500 87.41 83.47 6000 90.48 79.20 This engine also had leak down figures of 15%, 23%, 25% and 14%. This was also the most powerful SW5 equipped car I have tested to date, though it should be it has the spec!! On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
