The AU equiv. to our 1636 profile, which works well with an auto is our profile no. AU1502. This is what we would recommend. The cost to grind your cam is $135.00. An exchange cam will incur an additional $100.00 deposit. Freight charges, if applicable, are extra.
ATM billets for the AU are not available. They've been unavailable for the better part of 6 months. We're told they might arrive early July. Don't hold your breath.
Cheers

In a word......YES. Particularly with an auto, you can't really go any higher.
To grind your cam is $135.00. For an exchange, we charge a deposit of $100.00 for the core which is refunded when you return a suitable replacement cam to us. Freight charges, if applicable, are extra.
Cheers

Chris, I have a query for you regarding the 1636 profile.
After installing the cam in my 3.9L, getting it dialed in and dynotuned it works well. However, the mechanic tuning it reckons it needs more fuel at idle. Cruising at 100km/h, the motor hesitates a little as if it's running lean. Under acceleration, there's no problems. With the original stock cam, the engine ran without any dramas.
Has Wade encountered this with cam testing, or heard any similar comments from other Ford owners? I've fitted reco AUXR6 injectors & a new fuel filter but still have the stock 250kPa fuel reg & ECU. The AFR are about 12-12.6.
Thanks |

The only situation that comes close to what you're experiencing is an instance where a guy bought a cam (from memory, a 1636), installed it and had a similar problem to what you're describing. It turned out that at some point, either a fuel line or vacuum line had been crimped.
Anyway, l have some questions.
Is your transmission manual or auto?
Did you reset the ECU after installing the cam?
What was the purpose for fitting the AU XR6 injectors?

1. I've got a 4 speed auto gearbox. I read through all the posts and Wade's recommendations on this forum before choosing the cam.
2. I've reset the ECU several times, before and after it was dynoed.
3. The injectors have never been replaced in 17 years and since I've added extractors & modified the head, I thought I may as well install the AUXR6 injectors (which I'm told have a better spray pattern).
I'm happy with the cam and what it does performance wise. Just trying to work out if cam affects the air-fuel ratio much. Perhaps I need an adjustable fuel reg to fine tune the engine. |

You should be able to get the shims from your nearest Ford dealer. I believe they cost about $60 to $70. |

People l've spoken too haven't been able to shed much light on your problem. Just wondering, did you have the AUXR6 injectors in place before you put our cam in? |

Hi guys,
Ive got a wade 1636 regrind cam in my old motor which is sitting at home. It was an EB II camshaft sent to Wade cams for the 1636 grind. Its only down 7,000kms tops. (put a tickford el motor in) If anyone is interested im looking to sell it for between $85-100. Id have to pull it out of the head i could throw in the etc new shims for $30. |

I installed the cam first, injectors & vernier gear next, and then had it dialed in & dynoed. The car idled a bit better after the injectors were replaced. The oxygen sensor was replaced as well but that didn't alter anything. I think this is just a glitch with my engine alone if no-one else has any problems. |

I've got no suggestions I'm afraid. It would certainly seem to a rare problem. Naturally, whilst l couldn't be 100% certain, l'd be reasonably confident that it's not a cam problem. |

Firstly, no cam will give good power through the whole rev range. A cam that works well down low will generally "ease off" at the top end. Likewise, a cam that works well at the top end will, generally, not start working until 3000rpm or more.
The grind that we normally recommend where there's an auto is our 1636.
It starts to work from 2300/2500 and goes through to the rev limiter.
That would be our suggestion for you. |
