personally not a fan . quite a bit of bottom end loss without any worthwhile gains on say a sw5 . idle is poor as well . on a 1380 it would be less. id say buy an Re13ot or a. sw 5 imho That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system

I have a 276 in mine and every time it goes on the rollers he tells me I could do better if I changed the cam. Just never got round to it |

I always liked mine with the 286 Kent cam although a mate had the piper 285-2 in his and it was always a bit sweeter. That is a good few years ago now though- no doubt there are better cams on the market now.

N/a I would go 286 not 276.I ran that setup and made 120bhp at flywheel.It idled and drove fine. 'Where does the engine go?' |

I would just say that, the 276 is a little smoother then the 286, so it just depends on what your after, all out power or a little smoother driving. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

For me, the VERY slight gain in idle and drivability to the 286 was never worth the loss of grunt compared to the 286.

I use a 276 in my 1300, but i did have one in my 1380 when it was running. Had a final figure of 73hp and a good torque curve which peaked at about 3500rpm. It did pull pretty well thou, Scanned image of the graph below (sorry about bad quality) |

What about in a 998 or 1098 ?
Rusty by nature

Same applies but worse . In a 998 i'd stick in a sw5 (or equivalent isch like a BP 255) with a halfway proper head it will rev to 6500 and and gain bottom end and top end or fit a formula jr cam and a short fd and scream the nuts off it (na of course I have no hands on experience with turbos..yet). With the latter you need a good cylinderhead to make it work. Edited by Sir Yun on 21st Jul, 2012. That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system
