I'd definitely run the 2.0 injection then. The larger air flap has more mass, and is less sensitive to the pulses you'd get if you changed out the cam to a hotter one. It will make better top-end power too. If you decide to install a hotter cam, make sure you specify that the cam is ground with a wider lobe separation angle. At least 110 degrees, preferably closer to 112 degrees. Running a cam with narrower lobe separation, such as 108 degrees, might give better torque and power in a carb'd engine, but it will wreak havoc on the FI system's ability to read the airflow. Go for the wider lobe separation to smooth the idle....the longer intake runners and plenum of the FI will take care of the torque. Also, limit maximum duration @ .050" to no more than 220-225 degrees....MAX! I'd even prefer to see a bit less, maybe 214-218 degrees. This will wake the FI up.
