i have a 95 2.2l cavi and want performance camshafts but cant find them
You have to search for 1camshaft, not 2 and I don't think there's any (don't quote me on that). You can use higher ration rockers tough.

J-Body Performance has a few grinds. I'd reccomend you get a core cam from the salvage yard and call
Crane Cams (whom I use), or
Comp Cams as well as
Isky Racing Cams or any other cam manufacturer.
The 2.2L/2200s use the same lobe dimensions as the Small Block Chevy, so any lobe profile that fits a SBC will fit our motors. The thing you need to be careful with is the total lift at the valve.
The valve springs can only handle a certain amount of lift and only so many rpms before you have problems. Read the
2200 valve springs post for more information. It's a long thread, but a lot of good info is in it.
keep in mind...somebody correct me if I am wrong.....but it looks like you would have to pull the whole motor to get to the cam. unless you want to remove the fender and drill a big hole through the inner fender

when you beat someone in a civic people wine and make excuses
when you beat someone in a cavalier they pull over and check under thier hoods
do you have a pic of where my cam is located
The cam is located in the block, hence
Over Head Valve. It will require pulling the motor to get it out, along with removing the head, to remove the lifters. While in there you should install a new timing set, with a new tensioner. Some have had the idea of removing the cam by lowering the passenger side of the motor and pulling the cam through the wheel well, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it that way successfully.
