Which cams would You recommend ?
Cams are like women.
I usually don't make recommendations as to which type suits someone best. (Now if we're building the engine or it's a close friend looking for a woman, that's different.)
Contact Web-Cam or Dema Elgin. They will both have excellent suggestions... for a camshaft.
Frank's advice is certainly worth heeding. However, I had the opportunity to drive a 3.0. The guy who built it asked for my opinion. Instant throttle response and great power. I thought for sure he had used MFI. When he popped the hood and showed me the K Jetronic I was very surprised. All he would tell me is that he used high compression JE pistons. I have no idea what cams or other changes he made. Of course this guy has decades of experience on these engines.
Lets see..... installed new LED tail/brake light bulbs (really nice and bright), fixed a dirty ground so both horns now work, adjusted the clutch pedal stopper, adjusted the brake light switch (now I don't have to put my foot through the floor for brake lights) and installed my new rebuilt (by Parts Klassik) Marelli distributor and adjusted the timing. It's amazing how much better the car seems to run now compared to my old Marelli. A few other things tomorrow if the weather is good......

We had horrible weather in San Diego today. It got down to about 65 degrees, light sprinkles for at least the first half of the day and the wind gusts were up to about 12-14 mph. I braved these conditions and drove some back roads for a couple of hours. Not unlike "Schleprock"...sometimes it doesn't seem you can get out from under a cloud no matter how much you are smiling in the cockpit!

I think that post contained more than a hint of verbal irony. ;) Just wait till summer though, then we will be in another drought with high temps and fires and you guys in Minnesota will be bragging about the Walleye fishing.
Called Ollies to get the turn-around time to convert my 2.2 to a 2.5 or 2.7l :D
