V8 camshaft (for Badger)

Badger,
In a previous thread you recommended the Real Steel Viper Cyclone cam. I
have just received their catalogue but can only see the following: standard,
viper hurricane, viper 'stump puller' and viper typhoon plus a few others.
Cant see the the cyclone one, is the hurricane cam any good?
Thanks
Richard

The Cyclone is a new cam, they haven't reprinted the catalogue yet!
It's part number is DW252, cost is £127.39, tested torque figures were 253
lbf.ft at 3500rpm and 256.7 lbf.ft at 4000rpm.
BHP should increase by roughly 20-25, all figures for 3.9 engines, quoted
direct by Real Steel.
Bear in mind, this cam is for EFI only, recommended use is for 3.9 and
larger. It's a very similar cam to RiPoffInternational's RP4.
The Hurricane is a good cam, but will give more bhp at high rpm's - at the
expense of low rpm torque. Great if going from a 3.5 to a 4.6 conversion,
but not much use in a landy if not increasing the capacity to keep the
bottom end torque up.

I will be putting it in a 3.9i Discovery (auto) that most of the runs on
lpg. I would prefer more low down torque than outright power. Is the cyclone
suitable for autos ?
Thanks
Richard

Badger Hi,

I just e-mailed RealSteel asking for their composite headgaskets sets and
their products catalogue and pricelist.

I told them that you have recommended them to me.

Would it be possible to also send me an e-mail with your phone and e-mail
address. I am always looking for people who know the LR/RR V8 engines well
and hope we can promote and mutually beneficial way of cooperation.

Take care

I guess the "stump puller" will be the one for low-end torque. Judging only
by its name.

Actually, the 3.9 hillrally racer we fitted one to got the biggest increase
in the upper mid with the stump-puller, but then it was rear engined and
running stage 2 heads, "bunch o' bananas" exhausts and a DTA Race management
system for both fuel and ignition, with some serious ignition advance in the
mid range. We tried it dialled in at +2, and 0 in the end I think. That
engine's now in its 6th season of competitive use, with no known issues.
