CAMS!!! Best for 14B/E3 B16G?

[MustGoFaster]

It was 2.1Hp, sorry. And -10 lb/ft of TQ. And remember, I don't have a 16G yet.

Thanks for all the opinions. Any particular reason no one likes the FP (Comp) cams? I know Cher had an issue with his wearing, but I haven't heard of anyone else having issues. They seem pretty good, they are supposedly made on a CNC grinder like HKS’s are.

Also, I am not saying 272’s are overkill. What I am saying is that the 264’s may give me more USABLE power. But, maybe I should just go with something bigger.

Mo, what kind of gas mileage did you get back in the day? Yes, that is a consideration for me.

Josh, it was one line, get off JET’s case.

JET, it’s not my racecar, that’s $400 that could be spent on my racecar. The 16G is plenty for a DD. And I run 20PSI daily.
