Well, for what it's worth, I've never met anyone who was particularly happy with
the solex 2 cam. I street raced a couple of people with them while in
California
when my engine was stock (34mm chokes in the Mikuni carbs, no head porting,
stock
compression) and under those circumstances I beat them everywhere (low end
torque
and top speed). With the new engine, I am upping the compression (10.75:1) and
will probably do a little more cam. The head is ported and the chokes are 37mm
now. If you can wait a month or so, I'll let you know what I settle on for a
cam
and let you know how it works... but I'm keepin' the old B cam just in case....
