    Default huge loss of power

    hey all just wanting some help, i have a crs s/c kit on my rb30 auto vl and i've run into some problems, it used to have a fairly large cam to suite but some nasty am lifters saw to me having to remove that and a stock cam back in after a few of the lifters collapsed ruined a few lobes on the cam, anyway i was wondering if the cam wasnt installed properly or the cam gear not put back on right would this be my problem , also the auto g/box has seen better days could that also contribute to problem, any advise on wot to do or where to start would be much appreciated thanks.

    I believe if you fit a bigger cam to an rb30e or et you have to adjust the lifters to suit otherwise it will smash the hell out of them. Go back to where it was installed and complain.

    thanks guys but my lifters are fine i was thinking mabey if the stock cam or the cam gear wasnt set right could that be why my car has no balls its been suggested that my g/box is the problem but it still shifts hard its not sliping it just doesnt go to o/d anymore and holds gears longer.
