Re: M20: 288 degree camshafts

<<<A while ago someone on the digest had posted that they were going 
to put a 288
cam in their "i" engine.  My question is whether or not the car 
remained
streetable and passed emissions?   What about the 272 cam?  TIA

Barry,

The car definitely remained streetable.  The idle is rough, but not 
ridiculous.  I haven't gotten the emissions done yet (it was only on 
the road for a week before the timing belt broke.  I'm getting it 
back, complete with 12 valves, 12 rockers, and 4 titanium retainers 
on Tuesday.  The dealer paid the bill).  I'll worry about the 
emissions later, I don't need to have it done until February...  I 
don't forsee any problems since the emissions test is done on a dyno, 
not at idle.

Later,
