Default Which Cams /w Pi Swap

Which cams can be used on pi swapped cars. I know theres a problem with ptv with the compression diff so i need to know which cams i'm limited to or what people are using. I know vt stage 1's will work but stage 2's? Which comp cams will work and are reccomended for full bolt on car?

Comp XE265H, XE274H, XE270AH areones i have been looking into, are the XE262AH even worthit?

i have the xe262ah in my pi swapped 96 and i love them
no low end loss and they pull all the way to redline.
perfect for a daily driver, and install was easy.

Ive got comps stage 2 npi cams and they do good, but I could have prolly gotten away with the stage 3 npis. You may be able to get away with a stage 2 pi cam if you degree them, but I'm not sure.

It should make it at least a 1/4 rotation before you destroy a valve, so go for it!

When you say you have comp cams stage 2's which ones are you talking about, I'm really hoping i can find a set of comp XE265's or XE270's or vt stage 1's. I think they will be best with my set up. Are npi cams .50 lift and pi's like .545/.550 ?

How easy do you mean? Are cams hard to install on a 01 2V? What kind of tools and experience is needed and what's the general install time?

Yes, my stage 2's will work on PI swap motors! I also have a valvetrain sale going on right now...cams,springs,valves,etc.....
