I presume Blower Cams are the best choice for S/C engine?

Whats the difference between the 2.0 LSJ 68mm SC TB and the one that courtenay sport do for the SC conversion. So is it not worth getting the blower cams then joe, if im not going to change the pistons or can they still be used together? If not are there any other cams I should go for?

Trouble with pistons is don't you need to get the liners bore'd out slightly? Blower cams alone aren't going to add more than 10-15bhp are they? Will need a smaller SC pulley to get to 300 where pistons are needed no?

Few questions. :rolleyes:

Is this inclusive? or is postage/customs to be added as theres no mention of it? do you have a rough idea of what its likely to be if so?

I'm really considering getting one of the LSJ 68mm TB's.
Someone on z22se.co.uk (don't think it was vocky) made up a plug in adapter so that there were no wires needing cut or swapped over. Must have a look and see if he's got a wiring diagram.



Correction: It was Vocky! Imnotworthy See here
