Dec 2009 at 18:58 I see a few members have 3.0 litre cams in their 2.6's. What are the benefits of such a mod? Can 3.2 cams also be fitted (are they not the same cams as the 3.0).

Mine has similar acceleration to a 3.0 I once owned.

I am pretty sure his original centre sections were mullered!

Mine is pretty rapid for a 2.6 auto Grin

Martin. Does the fuel consumption suffer at all?

Not sure, being careful at the moment, but seems pretty similar

Dec 2009 at 20:14 My 2.5 has 3.0 cams and bottom inlet divider.Once the revs hit 4k it goes off like a rocket and is a very noticable difference to its previous life. Worth while upgrade,also a good time to change things around is cambelt/tensioner time as you are then most of the way there.
