I'd agree on getting the valves ported slightly for this. Again this would best be done on a good flow bench. The other thing that you will have to ask folks that have 2.2's is if you need to bore out the throttle body?
Again I lean towards the 2.2 only because it seems that there are really small things that have to be done to a 2L to make it work well. I know that the 2.4 needs a bored throttle body and big valves. . .
As far as cams I would recomend the mild Webcam to most all folks. It works great with the stock FI and just rev's great. The other reason is that I've always heard (mainly from old hippie hauler owners) is that you don't ever want to lug these little engines. That just tears them up. Well OK so I keep the rev's up
I would invite you to drive my 2L however I'm pulling the alternator (again) tonight and trying to get the charging system to work. Man it's frusterating as all get out to have everything right on and this weather and the damn charging system goes belly up!

BTW paul email me privately and when I get thh charging system up and going we could meet. I just got engaged and will do most anything to get away from all the prep work that goes on durring the weekends.
