I went on the web cam internet site and looked and buying their hydraulic cam set up but it says the cam is build specifically for factory fi systems? is their a cam set up that is for hydraulic lifters and carb set up??

I'm restoring a 1976 914 2.0 liter ground up!! m. restoration design panels for hellhole and the rear floors!! to get to the engine yes, full rebuild. I have a 2.0 Porsche motor.I'm considering going fi or carbs and hydraulic cam for a great highway cruzer back and forth every now and again from pacific northwest to north cali and a solid daily driver. !my mechanic says fi is way different than carbs in the cars drive-ability and if I do go f.i. I just thought hum why not go hydraulic lifters as well then thought gee why not with carbs too?? if I go carbs?? I have heard varying reports on how hydraulic lifters affect performance??sure a few vans,buses,vanagans,bugs under my belt I know the feeling of varying degrees of the air cooled motor really when I think about it if the 914 did run like a vanagan on the highway smooth and true from camp to camp it might just be a nice highway machine. megasquirt and others look interesting as well!!realistically I'm wanting to get as many trouble free miles as I can from a motor and getting plausible hp, without putting huge pistons and the such most people wrench into their set up I saw a fi set up on the auto Atlanta website about 4-5 months ago that they claim gives the stock set up 30 percent more hp and less wear and tear on their system than say a track motor with carbs that people rip around on the street with.anyone heard of that auto Atlanta fi system??Would it work with 96 pistons and hydraulic lifters??with the right cam??and what set up would you go with in my boots?? stock??I'm not competing concours so technology must be able to give me some trouble free boost in horsepower??
