Since i blew something down there, for the rebuild im gonna get a new stock block, ported trickflow heads with upgraded springs, 1.6 rockers and a cam. I cant decide what cam to go with but I found a guy selling a custom grind cam he had on his car. With this cam he had Edelbrock performer heads,a good intake and a S-trim pushing about 8-9 pounds. Also had a stock shortblock. Im gonna have ported trickflows, a cobra intake(ill get a better one soon after) a s-trim pushing about 10-11 #'s and a stock shortblock. Here are the specs on the cam.

Specs

LIFT: Intake @ cam 311 @ Valve .498 w/1.6 RR
Exhaust @ cam 311 @ Valve .498 w/1.6 RR
Cam lift with 1.7 rocker @ valve .528"

Cam timing
int opens 29deg BTDC closes 73deg ATDC
exh opens 77deg BTDC closes 25deg ATDC

ADV Duration 282/282
114 lobe seperation

2400rpm-6000rpm valve float at 6500rpm

Im gonna have Scorpian 1.6 rockers. Think this would be a good cam for me?

I think your car will idle better, produce less emisions, make enough power to split the stock block and get better fuel economy with the stock cam. I doubt you would actually go any faster with an aftermarket cam but if you are going to use one then I would suggest finding one with more exhaust duration than intake.

I can tell you right now that the right cam with ported TFS heads will have over .600" lift. By not taking advantage of the extra lift, you'll need to make up for it in tons of duration. By doing this, you'll make the car less and less "daily driveable".

I'm also afraid that 2.02 valves with an IVO of 29* BTDC is going to ruin everyone of your pistons.

There are much better choices out there...

looks very similar to the E303 to me, except the LSA is 2 deg closer and the cam timing different.
