RE: [alfa] Cam Choices



Do check your spark plugs Bobby. Sometimes lean feels fast but can be causing damage.

I got a pair of the Sperry Valve Works HP2 cams 3 months ago and WOW what a difference it made. My spider really gets up and goes now. My only regret is that I didn't get them sooner for last summer. It's too cold to drive now. Next is a set of headers. Sperry mentioned that I might need to get my carbs rejeted on a dyno but I'm very happy with how the car ran after putting them in.

Hey cats:

I'd like to know all the cam choices people have that
fall between the Euro cam: 10.1 mm lift/230 deg duration,
and the popular 11 mm lift / 240 deg duration for the
2L Spica injected car.

Some that I am aware of are:

* Wes' A16 cam: 10.2 mm / 240 deg duration
* Integral Stage 1: 10.26 mm / 236 duration
* Sperry HP2: 10.6mm / 232 duration
* Centerline and Shankle both show a 10.7mm / 240 duration
in some old catalogs.

Are there any more to chose from?

Also, are there any publications that talk in detail about
ramp design? I ask the speed shops about custom grinds
and everyone just says I shouldn't go there because the
ramp design takes many hours and many $$ to perfect.
They don't, however know any of the theory of it.

I believe what they say about that, but I would like to
read about it none-the-less. Are there books that someone
knows about, or web resources I can go to?

Thanks,
Stefano
