I went to an enginge rebuilder yesterday to see about getting a better camshaft for the ef xr6. The guy there said that without upgrading the computer and the stall converter there was only 1 that was suitable for that car. A crow 2222519 cam $490.00 and a lash adjuster set 12, for $127.00. And $180.00 to fit does this sound right. It sounds a little expensive, to me any way.

People's opinions on what is streetable vary quite a bit. The mechanic was just covering himself so when he fits a monster cam with the stock ECU and auto trans, the customer doesn't come back whinging that the car won't idle and has no power below 2500rpm.

I wish I had a dollar for the number of times I had reccomended surecam on this forum!
I did 14.5 on a regrind surecam im my manual EB XR6, OED666 did 14.2 in his manual AU XR6 engined ED with a surecam, and UNR8D did a 14.7 in his auto NL fairlane with a surecam. BI6TIM will do a high 14 once he drops .1sec off his 2.3/2.4sec 60ft times, with, you guessed it, a surecam. Billet cams go for about $400 I think, regrinds are about $160. The number is 3352 4777, give phil a ring, tell him what you are looking for out of your car and what other mods you have, he will sort something out for you that you will love  I really should start charging him for referrals :P |
