What do you mean by rubbish?
I have another GR cam in my Cooper S which has no Power below 2500rpm and is great around 4500. :)

And I have yet another GR cam in my 1360 which lights the tyres at 5000 and spins em to 8000... 8)

Note both the RE83 and RE13T cams has a greater LCA angle for turbo and S/C use, this is so you don't blow all the fuel mix out the exhaust due to too much valve overlap. This makes it feel soft without any boost, compared to the regular RE83 and RE13.

[edit] oops like michaelb I assumed you had an RE13T in it already!!!
Your later post says otherwise...:oops:

Have a look on the Wade cam website- they have some real good cam profiles and it only cost $120 inc postage for them to do a grind. the 240 profile is a real good one.

it might be a bit expensive to call from the UK, not to mention calling at the correct time?
