Stock engine 2.0 76 with stock D jet
I have searched the site and there seems to be mixed reviews regarding the Webcam #73 grind. Is this cam god with the stock FI and will it just bolt in without the need to change the rocker geometry, or should I stick with the stock cam? |

I know people who claim to have made the D-jet work well on a 914 engine with the Web #73 cam. I also know people who claim that it can't be done. (The Cap'n is one of the latter.) I'm not sure if the difference is in how they define "working well", or if there were differences between the setups that they were trying on, or what.
One thing I'm a bit more sure about, though: I don't think the "it worked fine" people included having to pass an emissions test as part of their definition. Because I have strong doubts that a Web 73-equipped car would pass any but the most lenient sniffer tests. So if your car will have its emissions tested, I would stick to the stock cam grind. --DD |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Not. I am in the camp of the OP. Depends who you talk to. |
