Chris,
I like them, but I'm itching for something bigger. I've got plenty of
low-end with the 2035, so I want to get a bigger cam.

Fred:
How do you like your Schricks? I ask because I have a pair sitting in my
basement. Within the month, I'll be putting them into a new 2.0L that I'm
about to assemble: b&b block, p&p head, and the Schricks.
I cannot wait.

Jim,
You dont need to. It will adjust itself. Motronic is very good up to
atleast
276's, maybe even 288's(or were they 284?).
If you must, get a Haltec or Motec engine management system and
either
individual throttle-bodies or carbs with big air-horns.
I'd love to see a car like that on this side of the pond.
Let me know about the cams if you get them. I have Shrick 256's,
but
thought about the Kents alot. I only went with the Shricks because i
got
them for $550 and you of course dont need cores for them.
