You do have an auto don't you? exhaust, cam, chip and headwork will see these numbers OK $k do it yourself fitting possible but the cam to produce these numbers will be s**t with an auto so add in extra for a conversion or a hi stall converter at a minimum and a better ratio and LSD centre for the diff to be able yo use this sort of power. Now think of $10k and save up to buy an AU XR8 which wil have this power at the back wheels and the chassis to match! |

ok i'll tell you all whats the plan is
i'm getting a 3.45 lsd, hi stall converter, extractors, and lowered srings. this is what i am getting ______________________________________________________________ what i'm after is what cam should i use? and where how much are thay? and what head work i should get done ? and where how much for this? to give me around 160 - 170rwkw with around $2500 in play to do this head work, cam, valve springs, cam gear,

i just finished putting a 3.45lsd into my ef fairmont and it made quite a noticeable difference off the line, my only other mod it a alted stage 1, still running stock exhaust and intake and it goes heaps better. The diff is deffinately worth the money.

hey. i just got my car back from getting head work done. i got the ports opened up heaps. intake were stone ground and exhaust polished. and a bit of valve work which made the valve seats close to the tip of the valve to increase flow. i also have a wade 1636. and just like extractors and zorstr and intake. i made 150rwkw. the thing bloody hammers!! give windford engineering in scoresby a call. they did the work for me for 1200 including reco the head and changing gasket.

yeah as brett said. That was pretty much the jist of it. Once i get it all dynoed and tuned etc im gonna put up a comparison thread of what options there are, but best time was 14.7 I was extremely happy with the way it went; especially since jim c/mock HEAD ONLY price is like 5 grand where i spent a little less than that which included all new accessories such as water pump, all gaskets etc.

the 1200 was including labour. nah i didnt get a before and after. i never had any idea how much power the thing had. they are opposite the entrance pretty much to the caribbean gardens market. but back a bit near fort knox storage. there is a mobil servo and there is a complex in there with, tyre power, kick start auto elecs etc.
