Hi
I have a backdated 81 Euro spec SC, currently the engine is standard spec except for 40 IDA Webers and SSIs with a sports muffler. The distributor has been swapped out for the non vacuum advance 78 model. The car is in Ireland and runs on the local 97 octane fuel and weighs in at 1130kg.

I am overhauling the engine and fitting new pistons, which will be 10.3:1, along with a programmable MSD ignition.

The car currently pulls cleanly from 1500 rpm with no hesitation, and this is a trait I'd like to keep, but was wondering what cam solution would make the most of the new set-up?

With the increased compression would the std cam settings be OK or should they be adjusted?

Looking at Dougherty Cams I was wondering if the DC40 would be tractable at low revs or would the DC30 be a better option to keep the drivability around the 2000rpm region?

Any relevant thoughts would be appreciated

Cheers
Mike
