put a flowed head on it instead with bigger inlet valves. Money better spent tbh.
i mite be getting both, but wont the ignition timing be way off then with no way to fix it?
Stand-alone management. :D
As craig said, spend money on the head, not the cam. Theres one on ebay atm.
Id stick with the standard head tbh, it flows well and has quite good valve sizes. And a head with larger valves costs quite a bit(more than an engine swap)
With the standard management you cant control the fueling or the ignition, so with a decent cam it wouldn't run too well.
It will run with say a 270deg cam, but thats a tad pointless.
stand alone managment = money i dont have! anyone tell me will a c16se run good with a cam and bigvalve head?
The bigfactor is what cam?
nv051 nvo52 nv062 nv061 which would be best all 270 deg or 263 deg?
so these engines seem fairly hard to tune then?
Any of those four will work fine.
Id go for the 270deg one, altho i wouldn't bother buying a new one, as its a lot to pay for not much of a gain.
what kind of gain roughly? what else is best for these engines?
With not much budget, theres not much doing tbh.
They are VERY tuneable, the way forward is aftermarket management, headwork and a good cam(290/300deg), the standard inlet can flow enough for 150hp!
so could i use a sr cam box with kent cam sr distributer and then webers?
Keep your cam box.
Webers and a set up will cost just as much as a standalone ecu.

ive got an 296 degree cam with my c16se its a distubtor not a dizzy by the way,and head been skimed and ported and polished .
If you want to be really cheap, use an SR camshaft.

If its a mechanical style dizzy (rotor arm & cap style), its an E16SE.
i have a nice big valve head for sale:D
