m20 cam.....

[MR 325]

I am collecting parts for my 2.8i stroker motor that will be going in the 85 and I am wondering if anyone can reccomend what cam to buy and where I should buy it. I am not going to run the stock cam, no way.

Thanks guys.

www.racetep.com will cut a Schrick cam to any profile you want. Best prices, too.

i'd run a 288

Word, dual pattern is ok, but 288 is probably a bit better.

Keep in mind anything above 272'ish is going to give you a very lumpy idle.... some folks don't mind, others do. I've never heard a bad word about Schrick cams so that's always a good choice ;)

A pal of mine with a 3.0L Weismann stroker kit has a Schrick 288 among many, many other mods and recently reached 208rwhp on a Dastek dyno. Alot of folks from BEN might remember him, Calvin Tan in Malaysia. Very impressive E30 to say the least ;) but his idle is incredibly lumpy.

I have no problem with lumpy idle whatsoever. You stroker guys think the 288 is my best bet?

Know the cheapest source for this?

[Chris E30 Cab]

288 sounds like tha winna! Get a Schrick, most places sell them for appx the same prices.

not to jack your post, but how is calvin tan? hows that car doing? i remember it was about my fave e30 ever.

[MR 325]

Well, from what all you guys have said here and in PM's, I will go with the 288.

He's good m8....ck out his site for recent pics and list of mods. 208rwhp is impressive for a N/A M20.........oh yeah, he also recently bought an E30 M3 Evo II.

just curious, what else is involved in installing 288 cams?
do i need to change other parts?
thanks
