The yanks have got good results from the std cam mated with 1.7 rockers. Would be interesting to see how the std cam would go with some decent heads and intake and 1.7 rockers. Are you willing to try?? Are you looking to spend any money on getting it to move abit better or were you just wondering why it was so slow? id do the heads and intake if it didnt kill my fuel economy... mine is a daily driver... when i did the heads and intake on mine, even though the power went up the economy stayed the same. so in effect the motor is more efficient. i get about 420ish give or take off 65L give or take and thats with auto and 3.9diff and cam. i'm never in traffic though. if you want your old ported ho manifold back its sitting under my bench but postage will be a bit more difficult than the springs. be too big for aust. post i reckon.

I reckon my fuel economy has gotten better with everything I have in at the moment. When driving around normally, making gear changes at around 2500, I'm seeing around 11l/100km or better. My current tank I've seen 310km and it's just hit the half way mark. On the dyno it says I'm running rich too, so when I get the Motec in and it's tuned correctly, I'd hope to see better economy yet!
