Hi Mike and welcome to the forum :y

You can get good results by fitting cams from a 3.0ltr ;)

3.0 ltr cams give about 1mm more lift over standard 2.5 cams bud good for about 20bhp  :y

I HAVE FITTED 3.0LTR CAMS TO MINE AND THEY ARE GOOD FOR ABOUT 20BHP. MAKE S THE CAR FAR MORE FLEXIBLE TO DRIVE. FIT A 4 BAR FUEL PRESSURE REG AS WELL TO IMPROVE THE FLAT SPOT.

4.0 bar FPR can be found here:

I'm a bit curious whether the FPR is the same for x20xev. Anyone?

And hence why SWMBO wants you to keep the older car and get rid of the new one?

Got my 4 bar FPR from local motor factors. They had to order it though. 60-70 euro (in NL).  But that was before I heard the 3.8 bar from the 2.6 can be had from Vauxhall for half that and is just as good apparently :-/. And, yes it did make a difference for me. :)
