I can get the uni chip for around 900 dollars........

That 216 cam sounds like my cuppa tee :D

My 3.5efi was abit to turtleish for me to start with the extractors and mandrel exhuast made a difference (considering changin to two 2.5" pipes instead of one) But on hills she still needs lots of revs to take advantage of her power, and also the more torque i have the better fuel economy I can expect :D

Dynatech 216 or 217 hmmmm MAL how much :lol: I am gonna go the 216 (I want all new lifters etc) so what sorta doe am i lookin at ?

More torque is does not necessartily relate to better fuel ecomony.
These motrs are more efficient in higher revs.
If you need torque you need cubic inches not cams , chips etc

i've driven an old 2 door that had been worked by john davis in western sydney. think it was out to above 5L. went really well. but i guess it would have cost a fair bit. The guy was selling the whole thing for 3G tho

get a pair of Wild cat heads .. stage 2 and a 217 dynatec cam from Rova craft in Perth .. that will give u what you need and change the lifters while ur there.
it will be like a new engine and dont forget extractors (pacemaker)

I have to have the exhaust modified again as the rear passenger side on full droop makes he aframe tap on the exhaust :x

you dont want to have duel exhaust as you wont have enough back pressure ... and you will loose power .. rather then gain power.
