G-Grind Cam

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I don't think the short block matters. A 1.8 will make it's power higher in
the RPM range with the same head/cam/intake/exhaust arrangement than a 2.0
will.
The G grind is a good all around cam. 272, 274, 280 tend to have a really
annoying idle, but will give you a little more top end.
I'd say if you're under 25 get the biggest cam you can. When you get older
the uncivility of the "big" cams just irritates too much.
