probably more to the point that they would be better suited for your car. anything normally over a 268 duration around here is usually used for a boosted application.

 

You do know the swap is just 1 cam right? Because you said 1.8 cams in your prior post.... The exhaust cam is the same on the 1.8 and 2.0, so all you need is the intake cam.

 

actually i did not know that i only need the intake cam, thanks... and when we say 1.8L intake cam we mean from a stock 1.8L tiburon right, or is it aftermarket?

 

stock cam

i myself would buy new on a cam instead of a junkyard wonder. something around 100 bux brand new

 

I'm gonna google where to get one, if anyone knows a specific place (good rep) that I could easily get one for a good deal just post it please

Another quick question, I have an aftermarket cam gear, when I get this 1.8L cam short I retard or advance it? and by how much (my options are 12 notches each way)

 

i would set it at striahgt up zero for the first time and see what it can do, then play if needed. these damn beta motors can be weird. not one thing works for every car for some reason when it comes to certain things.

 

I'm just going to get the 1.8L cam, thanks everyone for helpin me understand

 

I have a set of Shark Racing camshafts. Duration is 268, and I will be more then happy to provide other specifications. They aren't made anymore, shoot me an offer if you want to.

 

i would save up and buy the SR 268 cams before i would buy a 1.8L cam.

the 1.8L cam will give you gains, but hardly noticable. some people are willing to pay 60 or so for em, but for the negligible gain, i wouldn't invest in one.

 

Incidentally, if you're going to save up more (to say the price of colt cams) look around for a reliable shop known for regrinding cams rather then just picking one that markets to tibs. Colt cams are not the best for the money, for a simple reason: There are two ways to regrind cams. The first is to just cut away material, which is what the colt cams do. The other is to weld on extra material and then grind the correct shape. This is more effort for whoever's doing the work, but ends up giving you better cams, and I talked to a couple of places that had amazing reviews online and both were in the same price range as the colt cams.
