I had a 731 in a 998 and it was superb.
Not all of them were ground equal according to those in the know, so I may just have gotten lucky when I chucked it in dot-to-dot.
The MG Metro cam works very well in a 998.

The SW5 cam is good but the ACDodd RS cam is everything the SW5 is and more, it's been much more cleverly designed rather than trial and error with different shape lobes, smooth as butter idle and will pull hard from very load down

Hi
The SW5 cam is good but the ACDodd RS cam is everything the SW5 is and more, it's been much more cleverly designed rather than trial and error with different shape lobes, smooth as butter idle and will pull hard from very load down
well having fitted both SW5 and ACDodd RT1 to the same motor
I would say they are very much the same
so the ACDood RS cam should be even better
