Cam 715-18
By: Dwight Smith 85646682
With Supercharger, this is a beautiful cam for a well built engine
Despite its 286 degree spec., this cam idles like a kitten with supercharger and then comes on like a tiger once the throttle is depressed. For the classic Mini a supercharged 1380cc engine pulls out of the hole in an "OH MY GOD" way that will leave your wig in the back seat unless you have it firmly glued down.
I have no idea how this cam would work in a naturally aspirated engine, but other than idle I suspect that it would be equally thrilling. In a supercharged configuration, despite the overlap, the supercharged overfilling of the chambers causes a very smooth idle, as if a very mile cam. Then, depress the throttle and realize why you are wearing your seat belt (so that you are not thrown into the back seat).
Elgin did a great job of enginerring this cam way back when supercharging or turbo charging Minis was big news. IT STILL IS!! Trust me, this cam along with supercharger produced race engine HP, but with docile road manners. Beautiful !! Happy Motoring! Please save up for your next set of tires when ordering this cam. I advise for general motoring at least a 3.1 x-pin diff or higher. If you are into autocross and have enough induction system, this is a great cam for sure.
