[Healeys] Selecting a replacement CAM for BJ8

[Steve B. Gerow]

By mid-summer I should be able to report back.

My engine will be:
DWR8 278 degree cam w stock lifters & pushrods
.060" over 9:1 Venolia lightweight forged pistons (approx 3.1L displacement)
HD8 carbs on DMD manifold
Kirk headers thru stock Burgess muffler into Monza tailpipe
Stock head with intake port matching
DWR high-flow oil pump
Lightened flywheel with BJ8 diaphragm clutch into Toyota Supra 5-speed; 3.54 axle.

This'll be on a stock 29D which had never been overhauled - stock crank & bores.

According to DW's spec sheet, the DWR8 cam only gives up a little low end torque.
