Default Bigger Cams!?

Does anyone know where I can get a bigger set of cams for my 300TDI?
I love the sound of a Cammed diesel and I wana cam my discovery but I can't find a performance camshaft anywhere!

Do they even make them for the discovery?

Not so much on this side of the pond, diesels rare over here. But why stop with just cam modification? Jet noise - glad it's one of ours....

It seems in England it's hard to find engine parts for this car, and I'm only after this cam for a lumpy idle as I'm having to change the rings on this engine because it's burning more oil than I can put in lol. So while I've got it apart I'll stick a bigger shaft in for my lumpy idle lol.

I don't know about that. PT gets most his stuff from that side of the pond. He mights have some leads that would help find one over there, though.

When I drove cement truck my truck had a old "big cam" Cummins, it had "Big Cam" stamped right into the block, 500hp.

i just saw this, sorry.

I have cams for the Rover V8 in development. The first prototype is done but it is probably more camshaft than anyone but me would want.

I don't think there is enough demand for TDi cams in the US to begin to justify what I have spent developing the V8 camshaft.
