Try a no 7 needle to start with.

Then either borrow a portable wideband A/F meter and go for a drive under load, or preferably put it on a dyno, to get the mixture right. As for cams, it all depends what engine characteristics you want. The one Mick just put in his 997/8 Cooper (RE83) would be my pick for a torquey road cam. |

yeah, i live 5 mins away from mick and he has been an invaluable resource he also recommended the re83, so i think that will be the go.
i will get it on a dyno after the engine has been rebuilt to get it tuned properly. |
