What Web Cam should I use (pros/cons)
 

Im fixing to get a Web Cam and need to know which one I should get. The Carb cam or the Performance Cam (both on this sites catalog). My setup is a 1.7(stock crank) with 1.8 heads, 96mm pistons and Jugs, and Dual Webber 40s. I want the best performance cam I can get without modding the heads. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The guys to ask would be the cam people themselves....just DON"T get a hydralic cam...

The "carbeureted performance cam" (WCAM-152) would be the one, then. You will probably lose a little bit off of the bottom end, but get back more in the upper RPM range. Web-cam says this one is good from 2500-5500.

The "racing cam" (WCAM-232) is probably not for a street car. Web-cam recommends uprated valve springs for use with this cam, so that goes against the "no modding the heads" rule you stipulated.

Not being familiar with any part numbers, other than web's grind #s, I would go with the 73 grind for moretorque, and the 86 for a wider powerband....

If you do some spring work, the 86A is a great cam..It gives power everywhere, I use all of these with about 7.7:1 CR for best results, and tuning.
