280's is about the worst cam you could use on a 1.6
I would need a good reason as to why this is true. The 1.6l has absolutely no bottom end and the mid range is a joke; all due to the 75mm stroke and massive pistons. For a 1.6l the 4g61 is very over-square; Honda's d15b and the 4g15 both have a stroke around 80mm for a point of reference. I think 280s and a set of springs and retainers would make this car far better as it would give a power band of something like 4500rpm to 9000rpm rather than the current 4000rpm to 7500rpm with a sheet metal intake manifold from JMF or some other reputable company.

A buddy of mine had FP2 cams in his auto 2.0L summit and it was very street worthy imo.
That is good to know. I am watching for cheap FPs or Kelfords but would rather just stick with what I have now and spend the money elsewhere. I appreciate the good words about the FPs though.
I also have FP2's in my 2.0L talon. Idles like stock if thats what you like and i have an awesome powerband even though im just on a .50 trim. full spool by about 3800rpm
