if your comp springs are good to .600 lift, you will be close the 847 on a 1.6 is 575 595 lift. 93 94's came with hardened pushrods, but I replaced mine anyway when i put my 847 in..

the hot cam is a waste of time and money as far as power gained....the 847 and 306 cams are good cams but have you looked into custom grinds....for best gains having a cam match your heads(flow #s, CC, etc) is the way to go....
