hi philip,

what's your train of thought on which cam you'll go for? once i have the thor manifold put on and fixed up the leaking injectors i will have a stable platform to measure back against the previous cam then update my thread i had going with the results. obviously the thor manifold will impact but i did enough driving beforehand to know the cam change was for the better. (a wade 328B but it is in a 4.6). i don't drive with a leadfoot though there was a post on here with people posting their 0-80 times and so i gave it a go with the old cam and i couldn't get under 10 seconds. i tried it again with the new cam and was in the range of mid 7's to low 8's so it gave me some peace of mind that getting rid of the dynotec 216 was a move in the right direction. (this was foot to the floor and sure made the motor scream so not a good way to treat the motor and certainly not my normal method of driving).

i saw you respond to a post with someone who had put a number of wade cams in over the years and was getting excellent fuel economy. i can't recall whether it was for 3.5 or 3.9 motors but it certainly was impressive economy.

Can I transfer my Rangie to your Wife too Phillip ???

Was $439 the pre-reduction price ?

You wat to try owning a V8 in Qld by goawd are we ripped off !

I am still thinking about it.
The two contenders at the moment are Iskenderian 621256 or The Wade 259a.

Is that just the Rego or compulsary third party as well.
in Vic our rego is about $560 for the disco, the rego is only a small part the rest is the compulsary/mandatory third party insurance. ( not to be confused with the accident damage insurance which is optional.
NSW does it different how they do it. .

Rego Break down for RRC in NSW

Registration $439.00
CTP Green Slip $451.0
Pink Slip $50.00 for RRC on Dual Fuel.

I don't know how much it is in QLD but can't be far from the above total figure?????
