Camshaft recommendation for PMO'd 2.4S ? Options

[amallagh]

I've recently converted my 914-6 to a 2.4S spec engine with PMO 40 carbs.

The engine/heads are standard S spec but with 2.2S pistons giving about 9.3:1 compression rather and the std 8.5:1.

Can any one recommend a specific cam profile/supplier that is optimised for use on carbs with an S spec engine ?
If the std S cams from an MFI engine are considered to the the best for this application then I would be happy to hear your experiences.
I'm looking for a fast road cam to give me similar performance to the std S cams on MFI. The car is used on the road as well as for competition, so I need something smoothy and tractible at low RPM.

Regards
Andrew

Like most of these old parts (or old style), finding them takes some doing.
The best place is Pelican's 911 classifieds, IMO. The classifieds of Panorama also has a some old style stuff. My Solex cams came from there....one NOS-sill-in-the-box & the other fresh from a touch-up by Web Cams.....center-oilers. My latest find on Pelican was a NOS set of Mahle 10.5 :1, 90 mm P/Cs. They were posted about 15 minutes before I bought em'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Stuff like this does not come along often but the timing was perfect.....blew my rebuild budget to hell tho.


I forget exactly where I got these....no matter, these are not often seen F/S. I think they are a good torque booster.....old pic. of long aux venturi peeking out the stacks.

That's what I remember mine looking like, so here's the $46 question - is that picture of 40's or 46's? (I can't -quite- read the data tag on the body...)
