[Healeys] What Cam?

[rrengineer @dslextreme.com]

Thanks to Doug I have the specs for the 100S cam which I am told is the same
as the 100M cam, but after reading some discussions on the list about cams
and flywheel lightening I am not sure what to do.  My BN2 engine is not in
the car yet, but the short block is assembled with a standard Moss pistons
and a standard 100-4 cam profile.  I still have time to change the cam as I
have a spare to get re-profiled.  I want a streetable car with a little more
get up and go than stock.  I will be using the larger carbs of the Lemans
version.  I am also getting the head ported and polished along with the
combustion chambers evened out in volume.  My question is, with the 100S/M
cam, will I have to be in higher rpm ranges to get any benefit from the
upgrade?  Also, using a lightened (and I don't know how much to lighted it
either) flywheel, am I turning this car into something which has to driven
hard to get the benfit while losing a nice idle?   Will the lightened
flywheel beat up my transmission?  That alone is a costly rebuild.
