What is your objective with a cam upgrade?
What is the whole objective with your M30 setup?

Without those answers nobody could give you an answer.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

in reply to that,

i want to make a nice amount of usable power/torque for a trackday mainly and road car (road to get to the track).
and the main objective with a cam upgrade is my standard cam is buggered and i want a uprated one, simple.
i dont want a too lumpy idle though.

ill drop ant a line

thanks
ben
