PM rayray086.

Head work, cam and valve springs. Only problem is it shifts your power band up higher!

Thanks dude! Yeah i realise the 2E isn't the most rev happy motor, but i'd just like a bit more go!

I also have a adj. cam gear for sale ATM too man which will fit the 2e!
Long live le 8v! Can't wait till my beast of a motor is together and tuned.
Oh also, as far as I know I think the biggest cam you can run on stock injection is 270deg, possibly 276.

Oh really? Might look into that, although i have heard its more of a fine tuning device rather than providing any gains? Im not sure just what i've read online. Yeah i think you're spot on, 268/270 cam seems to be what everyone runs before going into proper engine work.

How many kw's are you expecting from your tuned 8v?

Good find! I want them but don't need them.... but if anybody wants them, they could be landed for ~$1100......

268 street is the best cam for the 2ltr 8v.

Cheers! Just wondering though, will the techtonics tuning 266 cam (270) work in my engine? Its the 2E but it could be OBD2 so i don't know if i should be upgrading to the heavy duty valve springs?

For the sake of a little extra dosh man I'd go dual springs for piece of mind

2.2L stroker, built 1.8L head (big valves, 294 cam, etc)
Too much work haha.
Now just tossing up whether to go dual 45 carb or ITB.. Decisions decisions!
