getting more torque off the line in an ecotec?

[pillzor]

what would the best suited mod for this be besides dif gears? ive done a bit of reading and it looks like perhaps new roller rockers or a cam ( either of which i know bugger all about ) , so which is cheaper and which gives the best low end torque result , extra KW is nice aswell.

If you after torque from a ecotec, then I would say you would need to be looking into a CAM.

Rockers are great as they give a little bit extra all through the rpm range, but if you want big torque down low (without having to add 2 cylinders) a cam would be the best way to acheive that.

Then gears. That's my opinion.

I'm I'm assuming you've already done the CAI and a full exhaust before looking at rockers or a cam right?

Do the diff gears. I wouldn't bother camming an ectotec. You're better off either putting the money towards a turbo/supercharger or a V8.....

yep done all of the basics, cai , chip , stractors, zorst , shift kit.
i do a fair bit of highway driving and it allready drinks so i dont think i want too do diff gears.

kind of thinking that aswell , starting fresh with an 8 but its just hard too have all the money at the same time if you know what i mean.

not sure what you are getting at here.

I'm saying the Ford 6 is better than the Holden 6. If you want low-end torque and a better all-round motor, it's something to think about.

Yep, you need another 2 Cylinders....
