<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: georgia,serif; FONT-SIZE: small"
class=gmail_default>Having now had several successful track outings, I have
come to an observation about my car's performance. It is a petrol
injected TR6. Flowed head, Goodparts header, and cam whose maker I now
cannot remember. 320 degrees, .5 lift at valve, and pretty early and
long symmetrical input/exhaust valve timing. 104 degrees lobe
separation.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: georgia,serif; FONT-SIZE: small"
class=gmail_default>Car reves past 7000 rpm easily in 4th [4:11 rear
end]. The problem is low/midrange torque.. I was slightly out
dragged by good Spitfires coming out of turn 10 onto the straight at
Laguna. By turn 1 I was faster than them. Power comes on too late
and torque needs to improve at low end. Looking for recommendations on a
more appropriate duration and input/exhaust open/close timing.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: georgia,serif; FONT-SIZE: small"
class=gmail_default>More importantly, I need a recommendation for cam
vendor/recommended grind. Had a Kastner S9 in my last [now stolen] car
-- but the gentleman who did the grinding has pasted on and Moon Eyes no
longer does them.</DIV>

class=gmail_default>I know I have not said enough about the current cam --
just I am away from home and do not have the cam grind card with me.</DIV>
