Yeah I think the cam is worth it, especially in conjunction with other mods, especially porting. CNHSS1 is right, these engines do drop off power at the top end, so its really just a case of trying to move the torque band higher. My max power was at 6.1k which meant revving it up to 6.5k essential. First of all I kept hitting the rev limiter by mistake as the power just didn't drop off at all, so it was a case of watching the revs to change gear before it cut in.

I managed to squeeze 240hp on standard management and injectors with a rising rate pressure regulator.

For the sake of the intercooler, I used a volvo intercooler, but I would seriously try to get one of the jap style front mounts that can easily be bought off of ebay for £125.
