If you want a stock idle without having to get a tune get EL rocker gear and get a 1673 or 1636 with a higher lobe separation. As above mentioned like 114.
If your going to get a tune then get a 977B cause i heard there good for turbo aps as it's at full noise when your turbo will be.
Otherwise email wade and ask for the AU equivalent.
Or if you prefer another brand and them

i had a wade 1214au cam in my EB when it had the 3.9L and it has a Impco 200 mixer and model J converter. it loved it.

then the same cam was put in my brothers EA with a 3.9L CPI with a gas hat setup. it loved it too

Only due to the fact that, like petrol, you step on the accellorator more to take advantage of the cam you just installed, therefore using more. If I drive hard for a full tank, I can get 50kms less out of the tank.

But, if I drive sedately, short shifting, cruising along, it is much the same as it was.

Cheers

I'm running a 977b with an ezygas mixer ring setup. Runs fine on lpg, however needs a tune (running fine just munching through fuel). Had it for 3-4 months now and haven't had problems other than using lots of fuel (~20L/100km) at least LPG is cheap though.

Looking at upgrading to a gas research setup now
