KGTrimning cams 140-160 1973

Has anyone had any experience with these cams? They look very expensive - are they worth it? I'm looking for a cam with loads of torque for 'fast road'. Their KG5 seems to be the goods after my extremely amateurish use of a Swedish English dictionary to try and translate their website, but I'd appreciate any first hand experience.

I have a well worked race head with big valves (not tested yet) that came with a car I once bought, plus some DHLA48s, so I can use a decent cam as part of the rebuild.

I suggest you e-mail them. I don't think their cams are unduly expensive
but at least for us in the US the shipping may be pretty high.

Their English in e-mail responses is good,

There is someone with very good English to talk to via email. I've ordered some fairly heavy items from them before (PV Bilsteins) and don't recall being shocked by the shipping. The dollar has slipped a bit against the kronor, however, so the prices are not quite what they used to be.

1 USD = 8.56177 SEK

Current quote - where it used to be about 1 to 10. Still, I don't know of a better source for B18/20 performance parts.
