Did you read it all? If you did you should have got the answers. In short, the stock 2L beta1 cam is the worst. Most people put the stock 1.8L beta1 cam in the 2.0L as it has more lift and duration (intake cam only as the exhaust cam is identical), or you can get the GT cam if you wish but it is along the same lines as the 1.8 cam (so I believe).

NO
The GT Cam is from the BETA II 2.0L Engines (01+ Elantras and 03+ Tiburons)
it has higher lift than your STOCK BETA I RD Tiburon Engine intake cam
The 1.8L cam is from a 1.8L BETA I Engine (97-01 Tiburon and 98-00 Elantra)
Not as high of a lift as the GT cam, but apparently safer for your engine and less stress on the HLA's because the 1.8 L has the same width lobes as the OEM one, where the GT Cam lobes are narrower.

Wow.

Tyler TX, read a bit mang, slow down.

LOL

I'm pretty sure I'm getting the 1.8 for mine. I just need to know if it's good for a FI setup too.
