Wade cams, a sponsor here, says theyve been trying to develop a cam for the AU and the 'hybrid' EL's without any luck? |

Theres a sticky in the 6 cylinder section with a basic rundown on what improvements you can make. First thing i'd do is the cam & the exhaust..... or just the exhaust if your gonna have problems fitting one (hybrid head blah blah) OR you will find money better spent on a different diff ratio, say 4.11's at the extreme end of the scale will give you much quicker accelaration and will feel like a different car. Then you have to fit a speedo corrector as it will throw your readings out, which im happy to give advice on. |

Go to the top of this thread where it say "Forum Index -> 6 Cylinder Workshop" and click on the "6 cylinder workshop" link.
Then you will find at the top of the thread lists a sticky called "Inline 6 modification guide" |

I cant really find any sticky explaining diff swaps, but if you do a search using the function at the top of the page you will see its a very worthwhile mod, especially for auto equipped falcons, as 1st gear is unbearably long and slow, which a shorter ratio diff will fix

The AU engine had a different computer which doesnt favour cam upgrades without a flash tuner/piggyback. The later model EL's same thing.
