2.0 build to 2056 or 2270?, Which cam would be best ?? Going carburetorated, with 96mm pistons Options

[zman914]

Looking to do a 2056 or 2270 build from a stock 2.0. Changing over to carburetorated, with 96mm pistons.. Looking for good cam advise. I'm looking for more hp, but very reliable.

I'm a big fan of the Web494 cam. Good torque, requires HD springs, isn't a total dog off the line. Lets you have a lot of fun with a stock redline, and you don't have to be in a super narrow powerband at the top of the rev range for it to make power. I ran one with carbs, and I ran one with modern fuel injection on a 2056 for about a decade.

Whatever you do, don't got with a cam advertised as a race cam. May make more peak power, but you will have nothing until 4000 rpm and it will be a total dog around town.

I'm using the 494 in a 2056 with Dell 40's I just kept the stock springs as I will not be revving past 5500 which the cam is rated for for max power. Good low end torque as I typically don't bother with 1st gear and pulls nicely from my 1000 idle rpm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
