I wasn't asked directly but I'd offer that anything more than 268 is too 
much for a street-driven 2.0l equipped car.

Bottom-end? What bottom-end? You'll be a hero above 5000k rpms but 
before that... You'd better watch out for those ferocious Geo Metros. :^)

I'd run the following cams on the street (in order of radical profile):
Euro intake/ stock exhaust
Euro intake/ 260 deg exhaust or Autotech cam set
Shrick (or equiv) 260 deg set
Shrick (or equiv) 260 intake/ 276 exhaust
Shrick (or equiv) 268 set
