    Assuming it an exhaust cam... 50 quid delivered sounds about right - I'll take it

    These used to go for aboout £150, seem to have got a bit rarer now though. I was looking to buy one for months, only one that came up was asking £300. Don't think it ever sold (I decided to stick with ABY and spend on head work).

    Deduce from that what you will...

        Maybe it is possible to grind an 7A one or some other to RS2 specs?

          You are talking about the exhaust cam right...

          I am unsure of the currant value myself.
          I seen a new one listed at 1400.00 USD
          And tots had both RS2 cams listed at about 640.00 USD


          If you are looking into the value because you are about to sell one; please contact me. I would love to own one.

                7A's regrind really well.

                  That would go a bit off topic but at what specs are the regrind and what benefits?

                  Maybe regrind ABY to ADU?

                      It really worth to pay that amount of money to have a Rs2 exhaust camshaft?

                      Nm cams are very similar true?

                        I remember selling mine for £325 back in the day.

                        Now if I look at my cam iterator which basicly samples thousands of cam profiles in minutes on an engine simulator the RS2 cams are only good if you are seeking to have maximum torque under the curve for 350-400hp application. I.e. it gives maximum all round driveability but not necessarily the best cam for most applications.

                            And no NM cams are nothing like them.
