Cam swapping?
« on: 22 May 2009, 08:14:55 »
Hi all, its probably been talked about before but what are the advantages of swapping different cams? what power gains would there be? and is it a straight swap, the reason i ask is that im getting a 2001 2.6 elite very very cheap but it sounds like it has valve damage on one side, so i thought if it is that and the head has to come off i would do both sides and get abit more power at the same time? also what else can i do to get abit more power?

I believe the 18bhp is just from swapping cams :-/ pressume 3.0 divider and ported to match is worth some more ponies? :-?
