headers to imrpove bottom end torque $350(AUS)
cams pair $1100(AUS)
if you get a came bigger than stage 1 you will need to change the valve springs $160(AUS)
super charger kits start at $4500(AUS) but the dude at rpw does not recomend them because they cause a heat problem.
hope this answers you questions
cheers

Awesome. Thanks for looking that all up for me. =)
Would you mind being a middle man for me if I do end up buying these parts from them, and getting them shiped? I would be glad to pay a fee that you think is fair for you effort and time.
On the supercharger, do they mean overheating is an issue. I am recoring the radiator to a 3 core unit so that shouldnt be a problem. I wouldnt be buying the supercharger any time soon, but it is something I could save some pennies for.
Let me know.
And thanks again.

Dino,
I am probally going to get those headers if you still want to help out.
If you could give me an estimate of shiping costs I can figure out how much money to send, and how to send it.
I am guessing it would ship air frieght of some sort, just not sure how much that would be.

dljorge@iinet.net.au i check this every day, so you are just interested in the headers , my boss sends gear all over the place so he should be able to get a good price for shipping, i will talk to rpw to see what we can do for payment of the parts.
cheers

Depends... (mind you this is me talking out my ass)... depending on how they restrict and flow... and how the pipes come together they can either aid torque.... or add top end.
With the 10:1 pistons I dont mind giving up some high rev hp in return for some torque while crawling.
I am curious to try them. And depending on shiping there isnt much of a risk to try them. If I dont like them I can allways sell them for what it cost me to get them.

Here is a Pajero with a supercharger.
The wonderful 4G54 with a 7psi centrifugal system. Excellent off road especially in deep sand. Good sealed surface performance with top speed above 160 Km/h (very good compared to the original setup).
Will attach a picture, can only hope that it works!!

I did start out with the stock Mikuni Carb but they are difficult to work with. Not real easy to get a good flow through a carb with such small throttle plates.
Since then I have gone to LPG only with a manifold setup from and EFI magna. This is a very good setup and the power increase just from the manifold change was quite interesting.
