Ian,

I have Schrick 282 cams on the intake and 272 on the exhuast. That combination yields around 30 horsepower on US spec engines. A friend of mine verified these numbers on a dynometer.

I have an extra used 272 cam with less than 10,000 miles on it if you are interested.

Regards,

I have been offered Schrick cams in the UK with the following spec

Duration 272 degree, 26,66,66,26
Valve lift 11.0 mm

They are said to be fairly hot accross the rev range.

I have tried to get origonal specs from BMW but with no luck whatsoever.

Does anyone know the specs for the origonal BMW cams for these engines or has anyone got 272 Schrick cams in there engines - how do they perform?

Cost is £529 for Schrick against £445 BMW

Many Thanks

Ian
