Raymond-
I ran a Kent "Fast Road" cam in a '75 TR6 a number of years back.
It had a
milled head (about 1/8") and stock Z-S Carbs with a Pacesetter
header.
It was a SCREAMER! I absolutely loved the way that engine sounded.
In fact, I
plan to put the same cam in my TR250. It had a nice lope at idle
and pulled
strong until I let off the gas pedal.

I recently asked for experiences and opinions on 6 cyl
camshafts on the 6-Pack
list and didn't receive as many responses as I had
hoped for, so I thought I
would address this list with the same question. For
those people who are on both
lists, I apologize and ask that you just skip
over this email.
I am in the process of laying out the rebuild of my 2.5L
6-cyl and am trying to
decide which cam would be best for my use. I know this
is a grey area for many
people and opinion is easier than fact, but I think
the members of this list are
probably the best resource available to help me
decide.
This is going to be for a street car, not a track runner. I live in
an area with
lots of hills and winding roads, which I prefer over highway
running.
Here's what I have decided so far:
I have the late model engine &
head which will be balanced and blueprinted with
the head ported and CR
raised to 9.5:1 or 10:1, and an aluminum flywheel and fan
eliminator added; I
plan on the 1.65:1 roller rocker setup; I'll be adding EFI
(haven't decided
on a system yet, but leaning towards MPI over TBI) & an EDIS
system; 6-3-1
headers w/ free-flow exhaust system. I already have an A-Type
overdrive for
those times I will be cruising on the freeway.
My early favorites are the TR5
profile, Richard Good's GP2 or TSI's S-2. The
6-Pack list query has brought
another cam into consideration: Isky Z-19. If you
have another cam you're
really happy with, please suggest it, or give me your
experiences with the
above. I will report the results (and my decision) once I
have received all
responses.
Thanks in advance,
Raymond L. Hatfield
