What sort of cam should i be looking for?
Street A15, burning LPG, ideal rpm range 3000 - 5500...

I don't need to worry about emissions, maybe something i can grow into...

vendors in the states?
www.nismoparts.com - nismo race cam #1 - will i get less than stock with this w/o a header?

Iskenderian cams ( probably want a core to regrind )

???
will i hate life if i got a forklift cam?

The forklift engines are tailored to provide their best torque at engine speeds that work best in forklifts, & I suspect that this is an engine speed that a bit less than what we find to be ideal in automotive applications.

I wonder if a specialist forklift repairer would have a manual on these engines, & if so, can you get any cam specs from it.
Just a thought.

Any 1974 or later A12, A12A, A13[1974] & A13['80-'81] A14, or A15 cam should serve as a core.

B210 The Nismo option 1 cam comes on at 5000 rpms...........I'm think you'll want something differant.

Schnieder Cams is in SoCal and could make one up for you but you will need a core.

There is also I place in the bay area for the like of me I can't remember the name and I just talked to them in November.

Tri Valley Machine? located in Northern Ca. I've been meaning to ask them if they would do one for my a12. As far as a cam core, There's an A12a equiped b210 at the local wrecking yard. It looks like the engine was decent, (had front end damage)
