204/214 from "frankg" on the board great cam pulls harder than stock and has reverse taper on number 3 exhaust lobe heard it works great with ported heads. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/parts-sale/177624-new-204-214-cam-kits.html?highlight=frankg

Give nick micale a call on the cam tell him brent sent you. im sure he will hook you up with a good cam to fit your combo. i just talked to him today about a cam for my hotair and droped some parts off. i would go with a roller if i had the money but im not since im limited on funds. anyways his website is arizonagn.com is phone # is listed as well.

Go BIG on a HA, since you are changing cams anyway.
Try a split duration cam, proven, especially on a HA.
You need to make up for the "lack of IC" somehow. :biggrin:
Search the HA forum.

I run a 212/212 and idle is fine @825rpm, passed emissions with a std TT chip, got 26mpg hyway. If I knew then what I know today, I would have gone a little bigger/spilt duration/higher lift. But hindsight is 20/20.

will a 208-224 work with stock rockers or is there any problem going with this cam since its a 224?. i was told this is the cam to get for hotair cars

I believe THAT to be the cam to run on a HA.
Verify the lift for stock rocker compatibility and make sur you verify piston clearance during assembly. Have not read of anyone having issues with this cam.
