Hello everyone.I have 240z which i use just as fun weekend ride.I need advice on cam selection.Currently i run L28 .5mm overbore,E88 head with N47 valves, head was ported and polished,valves have 5 angle job,SU ZTherapy carbs,280zx ignition.What i have in is .480 lift and 274 duration made by Schneider. I have 280zx (B) tranny and 4.11 R180. Car runs great, but i am planning to install 4.37 R180,and i wonder if i need to update my cam to one with .460 lift and 270/280 duration. With lower gear i will accelerate faster and i will be spending more time in higher RPM range.So what do you think is it a good or bad idea? MSA catalog has this description for this cam: "rougher idle,exellent performance,pulls hard from 3000 to 6500 RPM.

With all new cars comming to market i see that 0-60 mph time is going down and right now for sports cars is around 5.4 sec maybe less.I don't have ability to change my n/a set up to turbo or V8 right now (this probably will be my next project ) but i still want fast Z and keep up or try to keep up with all new cars out there.I know this set up won't give me average 0-60 times, but i said at least try to keep up....

Thanks,David
