Does anyone have experiences of the Piper BP285 ?

[paultownsend]

My valve stem seals need changing after 140k of use.  Just by chance iv found a chap down the road who's a crash damaged mk2 with a p&p head and the BP285 (Approx 285 ° duration) cam. 

now i got it all at a bargain price, and iv changed the stem seals, but after researching, it seems this is one of pipers quite hairy cams

what sort of characteristics will the cam give?

any help would be greatly welcomed

285 is a hairy cam more suited to race applications. You should get a lumpy idle, with the cam coming in at a fairly high RPM. It is best suited to a gas flowed head as well as a decent chip, nice air filter, and upgraded exhaust.
My advice is don't just fit the cam. Do the other stuff too. You will not regret it.
