2.7 with carbs, E or 964? Options

[scotty b]

I am gathering parts for MY car (for a change) which I hope to start on next year. I will be building a 2.7 maybe (probably) with Je pistons. Weber carbs but not sure what cams to go with. E and 964 cams seem to be the most popular, but which is better? I would like real world opinions please. Is one better with stock pistons and one better for JE's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Thanks for the help (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

For a carb'd engine, you definately DO NOT want 964 cams. E or Solex cams are popular, as they "come on" earlier, and make better torque in the lower RPM range. I'm a S cam kinda guy myself. I prefer that "hit 4500rpm and ZOWIE ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE!!!" feel. If you aren't used to driving a engine that needs to be spooled out, and aren't comfortable doing that, then go with a cam that isn't as peaky. There is a reason the factory made these hotter cams though, and it's for more power in the upper RPM's, which makes for lotsa fun!

I too like the S boost. I put the 67S and the 76-77 930 as my favorite "power" Porsches. First ride in a 67S was a customers car going to lunch, my boss (and very good friend) was going on an entrance ramp and said " you're going to love this" and nailed it at around 4G.

Short wheelbase was also alot of fun (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
