Howdy World,
I've been lurking through some old threads to find that the two most recommended Webcams out there for a mild / street engine are the 86a and 494. What I can't seem to determine is what the long-term wear & tear would be. I know the 494 is a quicker ramping cam that would be harder on the valvetrain... but is it enough of an issue to go for the 86a instead? Also, the 494 has more lift than the 86a - will both still work with single HD springs? If it helps, I am planning to run whichever cam in a 2056 with stock 2.0L heads. Thanks in advance for any advice! |
