VP3 cam...oh, yeah!!!
Martyn, this is about as hot as you can
get for the road in a 1275 and still have
decent low end for light to medium traffic.
In your smaller 1098, it's almost a mild
race cam! Hopefully, you have the larger
main bearing "cc" engine because this cam's torque curve comes in at
about
3200 on a 1275cc+ motor and will pull
right through 7,000rpm with larger valves
and 1.5 rollers.
On my 1340, it would idle very nicely at
about 1,000rpm (nice "lopey" sound) and
behaved very well using a 45DCOE with
a Weber 6" intake manifold. One of the
fastest Spridgets I ever owned...went like
a rat ba$stard and would cruise all day
at 4,000rpm+. Absolutely excellent cam
for high speed "limited access" type
of driving with 3.9 and/or 4.22 diff and
stock ribcase ratios.
