nothing wild

Something like a kent or piper fast road cam around 260/266 deg should be fine.

I reckon you can go with a 285 on there myself... Depends on the carbs as to whether it's worth it? Better to go with injection IMO, more flexible economical etc. Makes me sound like a grown up but the truth always hurts..

nah i think ill stick with carbs myself. im gunna see if i can chuck on the 41mm bouble barrel webber ive got. yeh ill ask the guys at volkspower to see what they say. it should be worth it long term is to drop a 2L 16v in there

Remember that you're limited to what your motor can safely withstand rpm wise. No point throwing in a massive cam if it needs 8000rpm for peak VE and you can only pull 6,500 without sending a rod through the block
