I have a 1993 Tracker with a 1.6 8V engine. I will be replacing the timing belt soon and was thinking of installing a new cam. I have searched on the internet for cams and have not found to much out there. I would like an RV type cam. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good cam.
Thanks

RV type cams are designed to be a higher RPM cam, the RPM range the old gas
engined RVs would run in, (3500-5000 RPM) and so it may work well, but I don't know
I had a custom cam ground out of my stock cam to a P5 or PT5 (Pinto cam) by
Engle Cams in Santa Monica California, I loved the change, torquey and plenty
of RPM, seems to peak right at 6000 with the turbo.
I had it made because nobody had anything available, this was back in 95-96 and
there was nothing performance available for the 1.6 engines, it cost me $200 and
two trips to Santa Monica, about 100 miles from where I lived at the time.
You can get their cam catalog online and look up the specs, anything that is close,
assuming you can get the specs for the cams you are trying to compare it to, should
give you a nice little bump in performance
