My question is when trying to make horsepower, why not just get the biggest cam you can? Can you make good horsepower with like a 206/206? I am not a motor guy and just learning and doing my best to understand what really makes these cars go fast.

Who are these "people" and what cams are thy referring to? Ive seen cams with more duration well above .050" have the same or less overlap than ones with more duration at .050". I know which one I'd want in my engine if I was looking to make power.qws2000 said:People say that those big cams kill spooling even with a good set up... What would be a big cam for these cars,?? It seems the springs play a larger role... Seat pressure and open, its kinda crazy
qws2000 said:People= just guys in my local car club who know more than me... If I tell them I was looking to put a cam of 220s, they laugh and say way too much, I told them the heads are going to be race ported.. Also the motor in the pics which is going in the car shortly is a stroker that's also .30 over
