Re: 16v cams 260's vs 268's need opinions



I would say it depends on your driving style.  Even though my car is my
daily driver, all year round, i still usually shift at around 6000rpm all
the time.  For me, a higher duration  cam would probably suit my style
better (i'm going with 268), but if you are someone that likes consistant
pull all throughout the rev range than maybe something like a 256 or 260.  I
just enjoy having all the power pour on at screamin high revs :)

Damn, your engine sounds alot like mine:

Hi everyone

again I have some motor questions for all you 2 liter drivers.
Recently some one posted some cam deals a company was running (thanks
brett for passing the line)  and I was going to order them for my
2.0 but now I don't know what to run.  I am hung up between a 268 or
a 260.

does anyone have any experience they can share.  I don't mind a rough
idle but I need to be able to get to work in this, but I want all
the power possible.  The car will be my summer daily driver.  It
will have a 2008cc, ported head, fabricated 50mm manifold,  header no
cat etc.  what I am looking for is personal  experience.  I know the
deal about better top end weaker bottom end what I want to know is
where do they come on how far do they rev.  Is the torque loss
severe.  where is it the worst.  when does it come back to where
factory torque was. anyone with any info that can help please email
me.  I need to make the right decision.  I don't want to make a $600
mistake
thanks
Tony
