Camshaft questions

Post by Aprntce »

So I have a question that I can't seam to find the answer I'm looking for. So I'm rebuilding a r16 that is going to be a casual car show/weekend auto cross car. (I know the r16 is kinda a dog unless it's stroked) but it is basically completely stock engine with a heavily decked head, headers, and im still running the su carbs but will be rebuild and have some work done by keith out here in vegas, so now my question is what one of deans cams would work the best for some midrange power he lists them as

Performance #1 - G15 / R16 grind - 420 Lift at the valve / 260 degrees duration. For SAE camshaft Order by PART# 1497ABS

For METRIC camshaft Order by PART# 1497ABM

Performance #2 - R16 motor - 442 Lift at the valve / 270 Duration. Order by PART#1497DBS

Or is there any other regrind by isky or anyone that would work for what with what im looking for Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the rambling in the beginning.
