oh dear, looks like we need a complete re-programming of the brain here! lol
The conrods, if they melted and there is evidence of melting then you had some MAJOR problems! if its jsut twisted/shattered i think you were looking at severe detonation as this has the same effect as hitting the top of a rising piston with a sledge hammer.
Im not saying the cam wont do anything, but in your present setup.....it wont. Sure, the longer the valves are open, essentially the more power you can make, but you also need rpm to make use of that extra duration, as you wont make any more power than 86%-100% VE in the normal rev range.
And to get more air in the cylinders, you need to have an non restrictive induction system, and that means your filter, throttle body/ies and manifold. The std one is about the size as one off a 160bhp civic VTI!!!
So, add more duration, youll just move the power band up as your limited to a finite amount of air on your std throttle body. What does the inlet system have to do with the camshaft.....well, if you can only flow 200cu.ft/min and to make the power your wanting you need 350cu.ft/min then your basically stuchken!
The head is where all the power is "stored" the cams you use and the throttble bodies/mapping is all an attemp to take as much out of starage as possible. Cams dont make power, its easier to think of them as items which allocate and dictate where and in what quantities the power will be made. You could have a 500bhp engine, but slap on a induction system that can only physically make 200....and well......you know.
Everything is inter-twinned with eachother, the bolt on and tally up system really doesnt work. As for Checking the fueling, get yerself on a gas analyser, wide band lambda (specialist equipment) and a Rolling Rd to check and sort anything that needs to be.
You really shouldnt be twisting a rod and melting a piston with basic and bolt on mods!!!
As for the Pugs, im quite involved with the 206 scene in HK and to say that you CANNOT make much power on the std inlet system as its more restrictive than our 172s! lol.......on the std cam you can make 160bhp with a modified 406 inlet manifold and TB. So changing cams WILL NOT be resulting in CTR beating.....yet alone the 106!!!!
