Would there be a performance gain / loss using 2.4 cams in 2.0? I'm trying to get some more midrange torque.

You might see some better mid range power, but you will also need to use 2.4 cam gears as well.

It bolts right up to the DOHC head. Look in the common thread topics...its in there.

i need more midrange power.... i can degree cams wherever i need to, has enyone ever noticed the 2.0 cam gears say 2.4 on the other side? if you flip them they wont work on a 2.0,theyre offset differently.
so what makes you think they will work from a 2.4? same gears, just flipped over. if the cam is exactly 180 degrees thats not a problem.. I know they will work, ive done it.
I'm just wanting opinions on performance
i race circle track, the 2.0 is dead on its *** coming out of the corner. i just need some more midrange grunt. and need to be able to twist at least 7000 rpm.
When this one blows its gettin a 2.4 cuz nobody will know the difference.

The cam gears say 2.4 on the other side because you use them with 2.4 cams. Just flip it around.
