Hi. I've been using a European Motorworks "E" grind for about 10K miles now. My motor is a 1911 (48x38 2ltr. Bus Heads), 40 IDF's in a 70 Beetle.

It's a good cam. Although my valves are a little too big for the motor I have. I should've gone with 42x36 valves instead. The cam has a good enough bottom end to shear the flywheel bolts once in my Beetle. 1st through 3rd gear, it pulls very well (enough to leave a few Hondas in the dust). In fourth the motor cruises very nice, with good fast lane passing ability. I've had the motor up to 7K rpms, but makes it's best power up to 6K in my combination. I'm running a 3.88 R/P tranny with stock gears with a 25.5" tire.

Idle is very quiet, and easy to tune. I haven't had any issues with bad cam wear because if checked the lifters after about 5K miles.

Not a 914, but at least some experience with that cam...
