So,
A preface. I do this for fun...if I happen to get a 5 dollar trophy...yippee. This will be a toy that I co-drive with my kids. So, the only competition will be my slow ass kids (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Till they demostrate how slow my reflexes have become. Its time to push the car up to a trailered car for a while. Flares are on, motor is built and running on carbs. I know I left power on the table with the camshaft... So, I want to swap it out... I dont think Type4 will sell me anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) so please dont point at that solution. I would rather learn a bit here, and make up my own mind.. Elgin and Webcam make several grinds that would work... Again, this is for fun, so close enough will do. Dont need to get into a pissing contest about it. For a car that may spend the next five years on a trailer...but occasionally driven on the street...at least till I get bored and build another motor (or go six finally) What camshaft would you suggest. Heads are 46/38 Ported, polished and setup on a flow bench. Not looking for a camshaft that requires me to keep the revs above 5k just to move the car... Something modest, yet way better than stock. I have mastered Djet and Ljet...so I am bored with them and I know the limitations. This is a new path for me to push carbs, but I want a rational setup. Rich |

I'm running an 86a if I remember correctly. I think its a great cam. Sounds like you have a bit more headwork than I do. I would say that the car is certainly drivable around town but really wakes up past 3500. With the 44 empi carbs it wants to pull to 7k. |

I got 124 whp (Dynojet) out of 1832 cc using stock dia valves and 40IDFs. The hp curve was above 120hp from 5400-6600 rpm. Very driveable but really comes alive above 3500 rpm as Woody says. |
