Full Version: What cam with Megasquirt build

I am about to start an engine build based on a 2.0 core engine I picked up from a friend. It will be 2056 displacement and I plan to use MS III fuel injection and later MS ignition. This will be used for spirited road driving with an occasional DE event. This is not a daily driver.

One of my concerns is the selection of an appropriate cam for this use. I plan on using as many of the Djet parts as is practical including the intake system but I am planning on having the heads reworked. Head work contemplated includes new valves, seats, springs and mild porting and polishing.

I would appreciate and opinions concerning an appropriate cam for the use and configuration as described.

Thanks!

Utilizing the stock plenum and TB will make the biggest impact on which cam is optimum. Using those parts, I'd keep the cam the same as I would for stock D or L Jet. If not you'll fight low speed issues and idle tuning.

Since you are splitting the case I would at least run this Web cam #73 ..... you can easily change the intake in the future to individual ITBs while the engine is still in the car ..... but a cam would be a lot more difficult to change down the road.
