Bargain, I have an ADR too.
Are you planning on using the cams? or are you gunna use the BAM cams

Well it depends who you speak to about if they are beneficial or not.

Spoke with JP @ JNL Engineering and he said that they will give a bit more puff at the top end but with sacrafice of low end spool / torque. It's a bit of a juggling act really

2.0 Stroker with .63AR GT30 will give a good spool I would have thought, do I make a step forward and go for .82ar with the ADR cams and make more top end power but a little less in spool / torque, the 2.0 should be bring the turbo in 500RPM faster than on a 1.8.

If a vernier pulley was fitted with N/A cams the timing could be advanced to minimise the low/midrange losses.
I would love to spend a day at a dyno testing both cams back to back.

Not a lot left to come now before the build can commence, just a crank, rods and few small things like sealant and head bolts. Not long now :D been an expensive few weeks.

This has slowed down a bit now, still haven't got any rods, and the crank should be here next week. My wallet has taken a bit of a pounding over the past few weeks so think I'm going to save a bit of cash then have the last and final spend up. Should have the engine built by the new year ready for the turbo, manifold etc.....
