I cant see that thing having 170rwkw with those parts. You should be keeping up or beating stock BA turbos with that power. :? :?:

That is great hearing that as the brothers car has the 1636 which is basically the same haven't driven it yet so unsure

Regarding the OP

the Egas in redbook specs as more torque i believe it is if i can remember

But i don't understand how this freak of a motor is possible i am jealous with the EA id be happy with 140rw kw

So what is honestly the gain in a EA camshaft ?

Have got one here to go into a EF would it be a worthwhile upgrade for the cost of 0 cents ?

The advertised duration on the EA cam looks very similar to the Franklin Cams RH44B (http://www.camshafts.co.nz/Ford.aspx). The ramp, LSA and lift could be different though.

I might just go with a vernier cam gear for now with stock EF cam ,

What do people say 2C or 4C of advance ?

It should make up for the timing chain streech and bring some power down low

If you reckon the chain is that stretched that much, try 4* advanced.

Will 4C advanced cause problems with valve to piston etc ?

Just try it at 4* for starters, it will feel like it's pulling a little earlier.
