Re: makers of trials camshafts

Paul Bonewell is always my 'go to' for any camshaft needs...

I'm afraid I don't have his contact details to hand. I'll try and look them out when I get a chance but hopefully someone will come along in the meantime with them...

A standard cam works ok for trials, modify the cam followers.A few people have removed modified cams and gone back to standard and find them much more flexible.

I'd agree with Andy I have not found any cam to beat a standard one for overall use.To quote the 750mc corrections to Bill Williams A7 book "The standard cam is an excellent compromise between power and torque".
I have a Jack French ( I think) cam in one car but doesn't really pull until around 1800 rpm.

Re: makers of trials camshafts

Again thankyou both,

would it be worth getting a trials cam none the less? As we do have a race cam at the current time or should we switch back to the standard camshaft, is there much difference?

Also try James Ricketts at Ricketts Automove Engineering (has a website). He is making fast road and trials cams. He's done tons of work for me and I can highly recommend.

Andy, I suggest you talk to Paul Bonewell about that question. He will absolutely be the man to give you chapter and verse of the behavioral characteristics of different types of cam..

cheers
