You can order directly from Enem in Sweden. You can search for their address. Jan Carneborn there communicates fine in English. There is also a kid named Matt Dionne who has put together some group purchases of the cam. With an order of 6 or more, the cam is discounted, plus the international shipping goes down when calculated on a per cam basis. You might find his contact information at www.turbobricks.com If you need product support and other parts or have technical questions, the shop that I know of that has done the most work with the Enem cam is Unitek in Sweden. Unitek should have a website that you can search for as well. Mike Aaro there communicates fine in English. The cheapest you would get it would be through a group buy, whether one you organize or whether you join someone else's group buy. Slightly more expensive is to import a single cam directly yourself. The most expensive is to buy it from Unitek, but if you buy it from Unitek, Mike Aaro will give you all the product support and help you need and answer any technical questions.
You may or may not need a cam gear. A good cam should be just about perfect at zero degrees. I used an MVP adjustable cam gear when installing the Enem cam because I wanted it degreed to zero, and cams often come from the factory a degree or two off. But the Enem should be no better or worse than any other cam in this respect. Many people using the Volvo VX3 cam sold by IPD and MVP don't like it until it is advanced about 6 degrees with an adjustable cam gear. Since the VX3 is already 3 degrees advanced compared to the VX cam, that would make 9 degrees advance. So you would be running the cam more than half a tooth off. That suggests to me that the design is less than optimal. While there is a better chance you would be happy with the Enem cam as it comes, only you will know after doing before and after tests. One fellow I am in contact with thought he was happy at first, and then after driving it for a month or two, decided the low end was sacrificed and bought an adjustable cam gear.
There are adjustable gears available for less than the price of the MVP or IPD gear. They are not infinitely adjustable, though, so you may not be able to perfectly time your cam. They offer 2 degree increments, which will let you experiment with different cam timing and would make most people happy. They take a little more work to adjust, but cost about 1/3 what the IPD or MVP gear costs. If you search a few pages of the for sale section of www.turbobricks.com, you will probably find the persons selling these gears. Group 6, a now defunct company, sold them years ago. I had a couple of them and they worked fine. The people selling them now probably just copied the Group 6 gear, since it is just several extra notches machined into the gear (at very, very precise places).
