good mild cams for typeIV 2.0L

[vwinnovator]

looking for opinions of a good choice for a mild cam on a 2.0L type IV.

stock heads, stock crank.

CR? stock or up a little?

carburation of either the usual weber 2bbl or a set of Kadrons.

36dells possibly...

WEB, SCAT, RABY????

for casual driving and cruising around town

I'd say stock L-Jet FI with your stock cam.

nope. going with carbs for now.

oval exhaust heads.

planning on header pipes from air-cooled.net

John, what cam goes well with those?

[Clatter]

You are going to have to supply more meaningful info to get any real advice on picking a cam.

For instance, a bus would want a different cam than a 914 or converted beetle.

Putting a good aftermarket exhaust would largely change things,
vs, just a header on heaters for example.

So,
Please be specific.

Any advice you might get based upon what you have given so far would be malarkey.

going in bus.

look up air-cooled.net exhaust pipes for oval exhaust heads.
they then attached to a header.

$1000 budget for total exhaust system. no heater boxes being used/needed.
other exhaust ideas??

AMC heads.

[Clatter]

Busses with too much cam are no fun.

Dual-pattern cam is the only way to fly for type 4s.

Better to order a proven off-the-shelf Type4store cam than a custom grind from Web.

So that basically narrows it down to one vendor.

If you run those EMW head pipes, you get a bigger exhaust - a good thing.

Consider maybe 42 x 36 and a good spin-balance job to compliment it?

For a low compression 2 l. bus engine with a good exhaust. Web #73, or if you want a little more upper end #86. Just stay below 8,3-1.
Tight deck, loose the cylinderhead gasket and flycut the heads 1,3 mm and youre on approx 8,1- 8,2 CR with bus pistons.

ACN has a low dur split cam that is in the neighbourhood of the old RAT 9550. That would be a solution too.

Thats the direction I am heading.
