Regina,
A fellow dsmer in my city has a decently built 90 talon, but all engine internals are stock except for he has cams off a 93 talon, he told me they are better. can anyone back this up, cuz i might start looking for a set if this is true.
 
Hes saying that the 91-94 cams are better and that swapping to a 93 cam is going to do nothing for you at all. The 90 cams aren't as agressive so for your friend swapping was good.
 
this is some info i found when i was looking for cams... saved all from dsmtalk...

1993
Valve timing DOHC
cam ID mark (B,C) (A,A) (D,C) (E,A)

Intake valve
Opens BTDC 21" 26" 21" 16"
Closes ATDC 43" 46 "51" 48"

Exhaust valve
Opens BTDC 57" 55" 57" 55"
Closes ATDC 18" 9" 15" 9"

just some of the stuff I found... it just
appears that the (D,C) combo would be better...
that is what i did....

you look on the end of your cam shaft, the side oppisite the gears, its a little letter stamped on the edge....

oh and this too...
2.0 DOHC non turbo cam specs all years:

Intake valve opens 26 deg BTDC and closes 46 deg ABDC for a duration
of 252 deg Cam ID mark "A" 1.4 inch cam height

2.0 DOHC turbo 5 speed AND automatic 1995 and after:

Intake valve opens 21 deg BTDC and closes 51 deg ABDC for a duration

Exhaust valve opens 57 deg BBDC and closes 15 deg ATDC for a duration of
252 deg Cam ID mark "J" 1.37 inch cam height
 
OK, quick question. If my cams are labeled Intake (A) and Exhaust (C) what are my cams specs and what cars head has A/C cams?

thanks
