Now here's a chance for some wildly different opinions to be aired.

I use a Kent 500 and love it. Fantastic low-down torque and early boost threshold.

I tried a Phase 2 and it made the car impossible to drive. So I sold it to Giallofly.

Tis true it is a 998, but if I ever build a 1275 I would use the same cam. Admittedly, it might not work as well but I still like the idea of a very mild cam in a turbo

From the Kent Cams website it looks to me like the kent 500 is very similar to the mg metro profile... anyone got the excat std figures for 1275 and mg?


Kent 500

Cam Lift 6.67mm

Inlet timing 16/56
Exh timing 59/29

Inlet duration 252
Exh duration 268

Yes as Wil said have gone back to the PH 2, the 3 was to lairy and lost me lots of mid range power.

The standard MG Metro cam is good in a turbo to(not turbo item)
