RE: 16V Cam setup/260 intake cam with stock exhuast?



So is this possible then? I dont know if we figured out we could run a
intake cam more extreme than the the Euro cam with the stock exhuast cam?

Anything below 268 degrees during is probably going to have a decent idle.
The 268 will get a bit more lumpy.  The 'bigger' the cam, the more top
end power (to a point) it will add, with a greater loss at the low end
and midrange...there is no free lunch.  Overlap has a lot to do with how
well a car idles, so anything around 32 degrees or less will most likely
not be too lumpy.
