Hey guys,
Got car serviced today and spoke to the mechanic about getting a bit of power in my v6. Still on P-plates, just wanted a little bit more power to get me by)
I suggested High Ratio Roller Rockers from MACE but he said it won't be worth it at all.
After servicing my car he said that if i replaced the ignition leads it would do as much as the roller rockers and be a few hundred bucks cheaper.Car has done 160,000kms and i don't believe the ignition leads have been changed for a fair while (probably since 100,000 or less, not sure only had car for 20,000). He said the leads would cost $450 as he will test them and tune them on some special $7,5000 machine he bought for it or something -_- .
I know I won't get much power out a VT V6 engine, but I'm not looking for massive gains, just enough to get me through being on my p plates. $800 or so is what i'd be looking to spend on a bit of power.
My main thought was, is this mechanic pulling my leg or not about the ignition leads really making more of a difference?
Thanks for any advice at all guys!
