It would take a good (new) example and a good driver but you can come pretty close to that. Wheels magazine recorded a 15.5 from an EA S. Mind you, you can add about 2 seconds for the auto. ;)

I can't recall if the 4.0 EB manual was faster or not... extra power but extra weight. But yes you will get into the 14s with a good 2.5" exhaust, extractors and cam.

Sounds like a plan!
Everyone has their own opinion regarding cams, I'd recommend doing a forum search as it's been covered in great detail. |

Check the cam timing first. You only need one if the grinder didnt do his job properly or you want to run the cam at different specs.

Yep, it does depend on the grinder. Ive had billets (brand new) and regrinds from wade and all have been 100% spot on. Ive got a vernier (cos everyone said you HAVE to have one to get the best out of the cam) but it has always been set to 0 deg.

EA's are a fair bit lighter than EF's. They are quick cars.
