I dont think your car had a stock cam. The cam acts like a brick wall when you get to a certain point. There was a thread on here somewhere about it.
-JA Starion with JD bits , Forged engine, Heaps of mods (parked up)
-BFII XR6 Turbo Ute , Here comes 400hp for 2k :p
-77 Mazda 323 drag car. 13bt rotary project.

After converting from SOHC to DOHC these are the advantages:


-Improved throttle response
-faster Boost
-better economy
-Heaps and heaps more power
-much smoother engine
-availability of cheap 2nd hand performance parts (evo's)

Basically I run an Evo 3 engine with evo 6 turbo & evo 4 intake and controlled by a custom flash evo 8 ecu.
All parts that should be easy to get in the UK.. And plenty of guys that can map it for you there as it's basically become an evo when it comes to tuning.
