Default 911 heads coming off sunday! help!!

What are some good cam specs for this setup
ported heads 202 valves 1.6RR all bolt ons
was thinking 224/232/550 lift(w/ 1.6rr) on a 114 lsa?? suggestions? i plan on spraying a 150 - 125 shot but only as a back up so i want a good (on the motor) cam but something that will apreciate a lil spray.
i am going to have a Custom cam made need some ideas.

put cam in at TDC?

Thanks for any suggestions


o and what about brakes after the cam will i need to upgrade them because of the vacum loss? if i do need to upgrade what do u guys suggest i do?

yes, line the dots and put the cam in. I would go larger, that cam is a mild cam that produces OK power but nothing great. If you want to stay pretty mild, then a 224/236 cam would be a nice cam for nitrous due to the exhaust duration and still have similar charactoristics as the cam you mentioned.

You shouldn't have any real issue with vaccuum loss not with that lsa. The problems come in when you're at 110 and lower

is bigger always better? i want to go bigger but i am scared i will lose all my low end and mid range i want a strong bottom end and a good top end that can compensate itself with a 125 shot. What kind of times can i expect from this cam setup? what would you guys put in there?

keep a tight LSA and that will keep the RPM's down somewhat and Allow your power curve kick in sooner.

Your times rely completely on the entire setup...what gears, what stall, what suspension, whats the weight, whats yor RPM range with the new cam considering we dont know if your bottom end has been rebuilt or just new heads and cam installed.
