Spud, I'll be very interested to hear how you get on with your Zetec. I too am running a 2.0L Zetec and i'm power hungry At this stage I plan to run it on bike throttle bodies (honda blackbird) and megasquirt - aiming for the 150-160 hp mark.

Will be good to have someone to pester who's already done it!!

cheers

You are alittle more restricted with a V6 and may find that a 285 is a lot of cam, usualy the big V's take 1 cam lower compaired with a straight 4.
With the Pinto in a 7 a 285 is very streetable but will rev to 7000.
Any cam with more duration works better with more compression so some thinner gaskets will help but check valve to piston gap.
