Yeah the TX2 has a lobe separation of 117 & .483 valve lift for exhaust & intake. Which is about the same as a wade 818 but with a wider lobe for smoother idle.

The tx2 has nearly another 20 thou duration over a 818 though which is chalk and cheese, I would guess it would make another 1000rpm of top end power really. cheers darren

Wade cams make reasonable power with low revs, i made 303rwkw@ 5800 on 17 pound with .476 lift and 274.

Something with similar specs to a Wade 818 should be ideal
