Guys
What cam lift and @50 duration would you guys aim for to suit a 1600 with exhaust, carbs and head work, standard tranny. Nothing radical!

on my 1600
i have scat c25 with 1.25 rockers so lift was .415" at valve, lift at cam .332", duration @ .050" was 234
idles good at 900 , good from 1800 ~ 3800 ish dies after 5000rpm , worth $20 i paid for the cam... but not worth the rebuild cost haha. at least it was rebuild tho
so u might wanna avoid this one since it's not gunna benefit you much. honestly i didn't feel anything with this cam.
u can probably go to this site for some reference and have a look at the timing card

Hi
If you can get one AP2s are good, just change the rivets to bolts. H&M Ferman in Sydney sell them
