SO, Now im well and truly confused...
What is the best cam to invest in, bang for buck wise. Im hearing good things about the 1636 and 1004 for an auto box with stock ECU (Thats my boat!) |

yeah i noticed a pretty big increase in power when i put my 1636 cam in. from just before 3000 to redline ti seems to get more power as the revs climb.
hey changin ya final drive ratio how much does that play around with ya fuel econnomy |

3.08 to 3.45 with a lot of 'spirited' driving = 13.8L/100 (before) to 14.5L/100 (3.45).
But it's worth the fun

So it would be worth changing to the new 1636 from a 1604?

Hey dsheps83 with a 3.27 to 3.44 ratio diff you are going to have some fun, Grechie can tell you, so can I. The takeoff is real cool but as you would expect you lose a some economy.
Hey Grechie, whats the go, you keep on finding more power, it's cool.

well you would need a set of shims 12x$3.50 ($42), a set of extractors ($400) and a good 2 1/2 inch zorst ($350).
do you have any zost mods?

Hey Grechie, whats the go, you keep on finding more power, it's cool. lol opto...well here goes the dramas i had at first 1) cam not proply ran in with a 2.77 Diff with only 3/4 throttle (due to accel cable stuffed 2) came finanlly ran in after about a month felt more power up high revved hard but still 3/4 throttle (didnt know) 3) got 3:27 and it felt so much more powerfull quicker in the rpm due to dif but still had 3/4 thrttle n didnt know 4) relized only getting 3/4 throttle....this is were i noticed the BIG torque difference once i got new acc cable, kicked back and is crazy... hope that explains the dramas i went through wen thinking the cam wasnt the best... - Grechie
