    the 1.4 cam has the highest lift out of all the nova's. It is the best i think.
    6.12mm lift
    the 14 NZ lifts only 5.2mm inlet and 5.6 exhaust. the 1.3sr lifts 6mm.

    Put the 1.4 cam in. It should give slightly better performance than the 1.3 one. Higher lift like snowface said.

    wouldnt it be worth putting in a cam from a 1.6, or does the 1.4 have a better duration?

    i been told by a performance company that he GTE/GSI cams had the longest duration.
    what best more lift or more duration? if im right more duration gives you more top-end power where as high lift gives you mid-range.
    not to sure thou.
