I'm putting 96mm AE 10.5:1 pistons into a 2.2E and I was wondering what cams are ideal for a redline in the 7,000s. I'll be using standard valvetrain which I presume will limit me to no more than say 7,500 rpm I guess.
I've mildly ported the heads and stacks about 2mm and aim to keep the MFI if I can get the right space cams made.
Twin plug is on the table if it's needed. By which I mean, I am unwilling to make any compromise in order to avoid twin plug.
I want it to be relatively usable for daily driving but for the revs to go all the way up.
I guess key questions are;
- what's the optimal amount of overlap for this CR / head combination to get the maximum fuel in while easing any detonation issues at high throttle low revs?
- how much lift can I get away with, with these pistons?
- what's the ramp limit with stock valvetrain?
I was initially thinking of a mod solex cam but more lately I've been contemplating whether that will rev as high as I want.
