    High compression small cam combo in ecotec bad combo??

    reply Yes but only because of the way i drive it, cam is designed for making power up and over 6200rpm. And tuned full load at 11: 1.

    High compression small cam combo in ecotec bad combo??

    When the car was tuned what afr was the no load and cruise side of the map, i assume they made it safer so it runs rich. Also fuel consumption will increase if the throttle pump section isnt right. Also mine uses about 22l per hundred and 32l when towing 3800 high comp big cam.

    can i put a vr v6 into a vn s2 both auto?

    yes you would need to change the inlet manifold or modifying the wiring/ coolant lines to suit the plenum, vr computer auto needs a cam sensor on the vn it doesnt have it so no worry, bolts in the crank are a different pattern so i think you would need the flexplate to suit the motor going into...

    Throttle bodies. Only needs to fit V6/V8 TPS

    just bore the standard out to a 70mm butterfly, will make more power than the motor can support, have seen test results that 35mm isnt a restriction in a forced induction 4 cyc motor until 300kw atw, dont think you would have problems and easily done replaced.

    What next?

    do a l67 top swap, when your off your p's, you should be able to pick it up for a grand and that will use all the parts you have now and make it a pretty good streeter.
