The idle was s**t for a few hours after i got it back from the shop but once the computer learnt the cam its back to basically stock quality idle. Can be a tad bit grumpy on a really cold morning, but nothing to wet yourself about.

If doing it again, i'd definatly get a vernier adjustable cam gear, as i realy feel my car isnt running full potential, it feels like it needs tuning. For a cam like this, a chiptorque chip (or similar, unichip) can push the car to full potential, this setup was used in my mates old EF, (same cam/diff as my car) but with a chiptorque chip and vernier cam gear and it flew, pushed 146rwkw and would have destroyed my car as it sits.

Any idea what the cam, vernier & chip would set me back?

Can I expect s**t fuel economy from this set-up?

Thanks mate.

If its your weekend warrior now, then economy doesnt play a part... And if you want performance then you dont want economy.

If cars are your hobby/interest then you have to pay to play... If you dont want to pay to play, then it is no longer your hobby/interest...

well said mate

Amen brother.

I'll see how my stage 3 cam goes tomorrow on a road trip

Does that mean I get a heavily discounted RPD Stage 2 eheh

ive got crow stage 2 with 3.45lsd in my i6 manual. sits on 2300rpm at 100km/h, still an alrite setup and gotta love the lsd. noticable difference to the 3.08 and still get good mileage out of it. thinkin bout gettn 3.7's or 3.9's, if ne one has can post up wat its like. good and bad comments. cheers.

Don't worry ...I definitely want to pay to play!

I've already spent a few $K on my baby, and will definitely do the cam & LSD at some point.

Just wanted an idea of the best thing to do ...without going overboard & completely screwing my idle & fuel economy!

Think I'll have to stop short of a Turbo & Intercooler tho' ...at least that's what I'm saying now...
