O-M-G, I finally got cams: are they any good?

[thechadzone]

I struck a very good deal on a pair of cams from a Ritmo 130 Abarth Gr. A, and I'm wondering what kind of performance upgrade I can expect from them in my 2.0 W/1.8 head and dual IDFs.

Please don't make fun if I've done something silly by purchasing them, as I'm kind of excited. I really SHOULD have spent that money getting the alignment figured out on my car, but it was too good to pass up. It's nice to not have a wife to explain my impulse purchases to, call it a personal performance upgrade? Self tuning?

Thanks as always for the responses y'all give me on this board!

Chad,

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I don't thing there is anyone on this forum that will have experience with those cams. Possibly someone on Mirafiori.com will know. If you need the absolute answer, you are patient, and have good grammer, you should ask Guy Croft.

Yes, Guy Croft would be able to help you the most. Heck, we don't even know the cam profile for a Ritmo 130...or the engine size, for that matter.

Are the cams going into a Spider? Ritmo 130 TC is a FWD car, and had distributor driven off the end of intake cam. You wont have the dizzy drive gear on those cams, and the intake cam may not even fit into a Spider cam tower w/o some mods.
