    Camshafts P38A

    Has anyone put in an upgraded camshaft? If so local or out of Turner or RPI in the UK? Standard or custom grind or grind info if you have it?

    I am looking for options and hoping to get a stronger towing vehicle rather than shifting the torque higher in the rev range.

    To go in my 5.0L range rover rebuild - bloody slipped liner!

    Cheers,

    Remy

    ps Ron did you get your grind details? and what did yours cost from Bruce?

    Remy,

    My car uses a conventional thermostat in the inlet manifold, not the fitting in the bottom hose.

    This is the replacement bottom sputnik:

    Cool - did you go high compression pistons in your 5.0l or standard?

    I have spoken to Phil @ TRS - thanks

    also note these at CROW cams but not sure the difference spec wise compared to TRS.

    OK i settled on the CROW Cam lpg/torque as i couldn't get any info out of TRS on what they were using grind wise and i didn't want to wait for something from the UK. Anyone else used the crow cam?
