G-Grind Cam

Well, you're right that the bigger displacement should be able to use a
bigger cam. But, I know of 3 2.0 8V engines, two with Schrick 274's and
one with a Schrick 280. They all idle like shit. Other than that though
there is no downside.

PS. I only brought up the age thing cause when I was 18 I had a 304 deg
cam in my Fiat 850. NO power till 4000, but reved to 8000. You have to
do it at least once to find your personal irritation limit.
