Bit of a long shot as there's not many around, but I'm after one for my temp n/a 1275 to give it some more grunt, or a kent 276 failing that.

Id say step it up a notch and throw in a 296.

Well I'm open to suggestions but it'll be a 1275 a+ std bore, 3.1 diff, megajolt, pre verto ultralight flywheel, and home ported/vizardised head and hif44, possibly centre main strap. Want something that will pull to around 7kish for a bit of fun, but I don't want something too compromised at low rpm. Thinking about 10.1 comp ratio too on 97ron unleaded.

I'm only after around 90hp, nothing too up top but with a few more than standard revs to play with, After flicking through the yellow bible those two stood out to me. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Drove just fine with mappable ignition. I had a 286 in a 998 and that was a kitten too. Just seen what your thread title says. Serves me right for jumping in off the front page A 296 in anything but a full race build is also a waste of time. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I used a 285 cam daily for 5k miles in a 1275. Compression was low too due to MT pistons. still pulled 88hp and never a drivability problem. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I had the vp3c cam, great cam imo, seems to sit between 276 and 286 and was pulling around 104bhp at the fly. I would highly recommend it |

276 kent with 1.5 rockers was quite astonishingly fast,with a good head, in my old 1275gt . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

I don't agree but that's for another thread im sure. If you've built a non full race engine that runs decent with a 296, you've done something wrong. Read: You've not used the potential in the camshaft= you could have got the same results with a milder cam and a decent build. Disagree as much as you like. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
