I even ported my exhaust manifold the flow rate on it now will make a huge improvement.[/QUOTE] im assuming ur not talking about the standard manifold?

Yeah thats right. im not telling every tom **** and harry to go and get a grinder and cut sick. im just saying that there is a advantage in doing it as apposed to the people saying **** it its not worth it. Power is power at the end of the day and if your not chasing it dont bother putting a cam in it.

Looks more like a perfect circle then it does when it's standard.

ive got the 818b wade cam not worrying about a new one now to expensive lol

I thought the intake flowed 160cfm?? standard, basic port jobs 175-180 and a full on big valve jobbie 210-220cfm. cheers darren

Possibly Darren. On the flow bench iv seen, iv seen them go about 120/130. Just going by what i seen and not what ive heard but in saying that the flow bench it was used on may have been off alittle give or take..

Yeh its hard to tell aswell, because flowbenches are like dynos, they all read different. So as long as you make a improvement thats the main thing cheers darren

what are the specs on the wade cams 818b or 1147c? what are the specs for both? can it be run on the standard ecu for the time being?

Check out the specs on www.wadecams.com (http://www.wadecams.com), both cams can be used on standard ecu's but delets the propose of having a bigger cam, A cam will only perform well if you have a aftermarket ecu.

Infact it may sound lumpy with a stock ecu.

Which cam did you go with? Do you have the specs? thanks mate.

818 can be used on stock ecu i dont think the 1147 can

818 and 818b are 2 different cams. either way both should be ok with stock ecu's?

I had a 818b, and got given a 818b/1147c, which i never used, I since pulled the head off and got some work done, and went the biggest billet (off shelf) cam from Crow cams. yet to be started or tuned.

what do people reckon of camtech's cam below? here is the website for camtech = http://www.camtechcams.com.au/hold_6cyl_vl.html Part No: CT503 545B-115 inlet 245 ex 245 @0.50 LSA 115 LOBE LIFT with 1.6 rocker .552 in, .552 ex Its the biggest cam they provide for the VLT makes the 1147C look small below; 232in 232ex @0.50 LSA 110 LOBE LIFT with 1.6 rocker .506in, .506ex think the wade cam is more lumpier on idle?

im now running an 818 on my vlt (manual) and it works well with the standard manual ecu... quite a rough idle and havent been able to test drive it cause my turbo is shagged.

818b's lumpy pffft mine isnt
