minor oop..its www.paeco.com

As for hoping up the A14 , my first question is do you have to smog the car?? If so be carefull as the 9000 RPM cam won't pass.

Next:be advised that these cams that let the motor rev to 9K usaully come on at 5K and without a close ratio gearbox you will hate the car. Full race A14's will pump out 180 HP or so but need servicing every 6-7 hours.

For a streetable car I would go with the GX Cam , header , 2 inch exhaust , the race valves which are 2mm bigger I believe , dual valve springs (lets it rev to 8K) and a weber 32/36. This should get you about 15-20 more horsepower maybe a little more if you have someone who can clean up the ports.

Remember the stock 210 gearbox has a huge jump in ratios between 2 and 3rd and if you build a peaky motor it will take the fun out of it for street use , not to mention the brakes on a B210 can best be described as fair.

no i dont have to smog my a14, it is a non catalist engine, and in my state there is no smog emision tests. i already have a webber 32/36 installed. i can get the gx cam at paeco? do i have to have the headers for more power? i already have a vance&hines ss2r carbon fiber motorcycle muphler, no cat converter.
and when i go to bigger valves do i need to make any head modifications?.
i only ask so much beacuse i know how to build mopar and ford v8'sm just not OHC motors.

A14 is a typical push rod engine , i.e. pretty easy to work on. As you know an engine is nothing more than a giant air pump , so you need to do all mods at once for best performance...headers , cam , valves and exhaust.
The GX cam is factory Nissan and they come up on e-bay from time to time. It is something like .331 lift and 256 duration. You will have to do some machine work on the head to fit the bigger valves...it may be as little as cutting the seats.
Since you will have to pull the engine to do a camin an A-series , might as well pull the head while the motor is out.
