Ignition Leads or High Ratio Roller Rockers? V6

[old mate]

your 'mechanic' needs to stfu. he's taking you for a ride if he thinks that more cam lift = no more power.

alright so that mechanic is full of ####'e.

Would I be better of going for a larger cam instead? Supposabley the labor of gettign it done is an absolute money killer? Would gains be better than doing what was mentioned above?

yes you will get alot more gains for a cam. but alot more then $800 to be installed.. plus you would need a full exhaust for a cam

Whole exhaust system and extractors has been redone

yeah cams look like they could cost almost 2 grand then after purchase and getting them fitted :/

I might just ignore the cam, the 'leads' lol and just buy what bolt on stuff mace has to offer within my price range. I am a hopeless bastard at DIY work though :/

nar bud its easy as to do

when i was making over 300KW on my v6 I changed my leads.

It helped nothing.

Mace manifold spacers and rockers did the trick in NA form. They don't look like much but they work.

Thank you so much everyone for all the help!!

I will spend my money on spacers and rockers then.
Might do some research on if that throttle body and insulator things from MACE are worth it too and also what roller rockers are better.

In all honesty I found the throttle body a waste of time, all it did was "appear" to make more power because 1/4 throttle was now 1/3 throttle and so on. These little ecotecs can only suck so much.
Stay away from the 70mm Air flow meters too.

Sweet happy to know! So you'd recommend the rollers and plenum spacer only then? Got any idea on what size rollerswould be better and more punchy?

Hmm he does the lead/plug things as a 2nd job thing.

ill bet!!! if i could charge unsuspecting people 390 dollars for doing nothing, i would have that as a second job too.
