    Im gunna say it, but a 292 on what kind of engine?

    Mines a 280* Comp. I luvs it.

    Ive heard and ridden in B.Y.E.s 310* (IIRC)

    There not for stock engines. :lol: Hint hint.

    Ive heard of weber cams for A/C volkswagens, they have a good rep. :waytogo:

    Yea 310* is not recommended for stock engines, just something I wanted to test out for myself...

    The 280* comp is your best all around cam choice and is proven!

    Lots of variables when choosing cams... Power band output, gear ratio, transmission, driving habits, ability to tune, carburation, etc, all play in it's part...

    yeah i realize that..

    what do you mean by stock??
    top end or bottom end??
    i plan on modifying the head to the best of my abilities..
    bottom end might get balanced, but other than that, it will be stock internals..
    would this be a problem for 300*+ cams?

    Topend... A good quality set of dual springs will make the most out of whatever cam you choose.

    Stock bottom ends are as tough as railroad spikes. If you can get the 22R head to flow enough air, a 300* cam wouldnt be a problem. But you would lose a little of that low rpm drivability...

    And dont forget about valve/piston touching. Nothing a little grinder cant fix. :lol:

    What carb(s)/intake you want to run?

    thanks for all the help guys!

    a 300+ cam would hurt drivability??
    how badly exactly??

    im planning on running a custom twin throttle body EFI.
    havent seen one on these types so trying something different:cool:

    :lol: Second or third guy on my fuel injected sidedraft idea....

    I hope im the one to finish one first.

    My cam doesnt really get "in the groove" till about 3-3500, then its bat out of hell to redline. :evil: But that can be a combination of things such as a little 4 banger, avarage gearing, and maybe a little too much carb. :waytogo:

    haha hey i didnt steal this idea from you tho!
    i had a thread called dual carb..
    but you were prolly the first to think it up!
    youll prolly beat me to it too, due to a lack of funding on my side..
