    Vince at stealth racing is a guru for setting up mk2 16v...well k-jets and many others

    No maf sensor or emmisions to worry about, this build is about old school carb grunt!! No K-jet to worry about either so fueling won't be so much of an issue..

    i will be running standard pistons ona fully balanced bottom end with a fairly low CR however so i dont want the the thing to nuc itself with a det problem of similar.. am i right in thinking i want duration rather than lift??

    would I be better of with a 268/268 rather than a 276/276?? or is a split 268/267 the best of both worlds??

    cheers

    Henry

    Do you mean 2.0l bottom end?

    Heads are virtually the same when standard

    Are you doing any head work and maybe lightning/balancing bottom end?

    Are you running throttle bodies or carbs?

    All of the above will affect your decision what cams to choose
