So today I call Webcam. Appearantly you can't use solid lifters on a hydro cam. And, they don't want my core (shit, I don't want my core...). So I tell them I'm running stock injection and I can't have any wild/funky overlap. So they reccommend an 86-series grind (for stock injection) for my use: AX/Street. Hm, this might be interesting. I vaguely remember the cam I was going to use on my 2056cc beast was an 86b with +5ยบ duration on exhaust, and that was going to provide some power. I wanted to buy Raby's cam for L-Jet, but I can't find it on his website, and appearantly their shop is closed until July 17th - so there goes that option.

I'm asking for opinions from engine builders... What should I expect with an 86-series cam on L-Jet? Webcam assures me it'll be compatible with stock injection. I think it's a good thing they have a return policy.

Have 250 miles on a complete 2.0L rebuilt with Web 73 using stock D-Jet. I think I am going to like this combo a lot. Have not pushed it yet, but feels like it has better mid and upper range pop. Hunts at idle when cold, but I was expecting that. Smooths out pretty good once the motor is warm.

I'm still trying to get opinions and ideas on a cam selection before I go buy it next wednesday. Since Jake's shop is closed and I'm buttoning this thing up by next Friday...

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Guys with the Raby L-Jet cams... What's your powerband like? Does it seem to have more power in the low, mid or top end?

Guys with the Web cam (73?)... I ask the same. How is it compared to the original driveability of the engine? Power increase?

Unless you are running a header... the extra duration on exhaust wont make any difference.

I have used the 86a and b on lots of different engines. Never had an issue with tuning any of them. The longer duration and header combo will want to run lean. Bump the fuel pressure up 2-3 lbs on a scope.
