Dafnos hi

I deleted one post - there were 2 the same, and corrected spelling of Alquati in your header.
GC advice is: no way use those cams on a road car. They are for a full race engine, I would not get involved in that. I won't do higher than StII and then on a competition engine only, try to avoid doing road/race engines. I'll post a topic soon in GC V/W about how to set up an engine spec and cost it, then you can see what's involved.
It would be a very bad idea to build the engine around a set of cams, that said plenty of people try to.
Anyone else wants to detail how Dafnos could proceed feel free.

Dafnos , hi

please be patient, I only have one pair of hands and have much work to do during the day!
The post I will write in GC V/W about how to build a spec will be worth waiting for, it is much needed to bring some sense to the mad ‚£‚£‚£ world of 'tuning', and it will help you. Until then I strongly suggest you do nothing much with the car, other than perhaps put standard 2 liter cams in there.

I can sell you cams that will - probably, with care - dovetail into your motor but you still have to deal with the ex system etc. I cannot offer standalone engine solutions unless the owner deals with things I tell them about, one reason among many that I do not do full engines for fast road cars any more.
