Cam choice.

There are a few makes available, along with the spendy option of having some ground to suit, so I'm after opinions from the collective.

1100 ET engine, ported and flowed head with bigger EF valves, some pretty special 'one off' batch pistons with the bore taken out to 1170, bottom end checked and sorted. It'll be running flat slides with Ignitec ignition and the gasses will be going out via a nice free flowing Cowley.

Use will be predominantly road but favouring a track set up. i.e. lots of pressing on enthusiastically and not used for puttering about town. I reckon with the above and the right cams I should be in the 150+ hp range.

What're the cam recommendations to suit that scenario?

Grinding cams to suit is not that expensive in comparison to new Yoshimura cams.

 

Kent cams guoted me 270GBP a pair 10day turn around 

Piper cams quoted the same.

New yoshimura cam were 700gbp

Mind you these are 2017 prices.

They've gone up since then it's £360 vs £840 or there about but still a large difference.
