DAY-UM!
All that money on a CUSTOM cam and it ain't gonna do me no gud?
Keep the anal-izer, I'm gettin 200 ponies out of this puppy even if I have to pump it full of NAWWWWS!

Buy the friggin parts, design a combo and bolt the S.O.B. together!
I get so tired of projections that I could scream loud enough to be heard over my dyno. there is no substitute for trial and error and no substitute for experience!
Run a correct cam and bump the CR on any engine to match with the proper ports and if you don't gain atleast 20% of power you did something wrong..
Quit spending money on gaining jknowledge through print. Buy 20 junk engines and build the damn things.. Thats worth its weight in Titanium!

Shoot! That's right, it'll NEVER get to 7K with those rods!
Run outta AIR!
Hmmmm, I guess a standard 350 Chebbie then!
Or I *think* I have a weird OLDS rod that is 5.3 or
something like that. Real short!
Been two yrs since I played with my rods!
I'll have to go back and measure.
I REALLY liked the *looks* of those 5.7s.
I got them from a Chevy guy so I have two sets for a VW!

I was talking about 2.0L street engines. At what rpm are you getting 200hp from a 2.0?
46,000 miles in 19 months! Built from USED PARTS! ran 80 MPH to the track 5 hours away, put 208 miles on the road race course, and drove home at 85-90 MPH and still hasn't been touched.
Idles at 800 RPM, heads won't touch 350 and runs on 89 octane...
at the track I shift at 6500 RPM, and did that for 18/ 25 minute sessions... didn't even need to add oil the entire time...its a full time daily driver.
Jake, what setup are you running on that 914 motor? Its a 2056 with your own cam, right? Thats what im aiming for. I realize i wont get the same results because I dont have the experience building engines, but anything close would be awsome.
Im really torn right now. I want to get my 914 on the road in the next month or so and I need a cam soon. Right now I am tempted to go with webcam's 494 grind from acn because of their warrenty. But I understand the cam has a lot to do with performance and such so I want to go with one of your grinds, but I cannot afford ceramic lifters. Are you willing to sell one of your grinds? Again, I am not worried about a warrenty from you. I understand if it goes flat its my fault for jumping the gun.
I need to know ALOT motre about what you already have for parts... Your altitude, the CR you want to run, carbs, heads, before I can even see if it will work for you..
