Hi Rodger, Well it's anything from stop/start sitting in traffic to 30 to 40 in town and up to cruising at 70mph (maximum speed limit on motorways). I don't like the sitting in traffic part but it happens..... I sent an enquiry to them telling them I have a poly and seeing what my options were as I have the Wieand single plane intake that the car came with. I got back " Our most popular cam is a 24-1212-10A4 (m). It has 212 duration @.050 with .435 lift and 110 lobe separation. We try to keep these in stock. Cost is $235.00 + shipping. The lifters are about $140.00 + shipping. If we do not have any in stock allow about a week for production. These cams are intended for basically stock engines and have great throttle response. They have a pretty smooth idle."
I do need to change my cam as the one that's in the car has pits on the back of the lobes from water damage (I had a major water in the oil problem). I only ran this temporarily whilst seeing if the rest of the engine was OK.. That temporarily has run into 3+ years so I thought I'd better get round to it
