Mate if you can, go harder than a 1636. I have no proof other than seat of my pants but it doesn't go much harder than my old EL XR6 cam. We will find out soon enough though.

Its not the cams fault, I guess coming from a stocker it would be a bigger jump.

Basically tell them what cam you want, take a cam to them that is suitable for a regrind and then you owe them about $120 and the old cam. Too easy.

if your car is a manual go the mixed grind 1636C977B, best of both worlds!
Mine gets installed next week

if manual id just got the 977b as idle quality isnt as much of an issue on a manual car.

anything higher than that needs ecu and springs so the 977b is a bit of a nutter.

my 1636 is definatly miles ahead of my stock cam.

Does the 977b make the car run rich?

And how much better is a 977b going to be over an EB XR6 cam?
