<font size=3>If you review some of the posts about the cam change (Bob
Donalds??) I had the impression that the cam change isn't that dramatic
improvement down low in the torque dept where you really want the power.
Accordingly, I was uncertain about how excited I was about that part of
the conversion, and decided to get the most I could out of the stock cam
by going with the 1.4s. <br>
<br>
Some others made this same decision. <br>
<br>
Also, there are right now a number of us looking at the chip. Would
everybody who is looking at getting the chip email me and I will see if
we can combine the purchasing power for a lower price? <br>
<br>
Most recently the price was $260, and a group purchase would allow us to
push this lower. <br>

Robert Lilley advises 1.3 ratio rockers if you are<br>
going to upgrade the cam upon rebuild and 1.4 rockers<br>
if not, and further advises these only with use of the<br>
upgrade chip.<br>
<br>
My question, if you go with the 1.3s and do not upgrade<br>
the cam for a while, what is the down side? Is it just<br>
that the 1.4s provide best performance if not doing a<br>
cam, but the 1.3s with the cam are better yet, and the<br>
1.3 without the cam do not provide the same level of<br>
enhancement as the 1.4? If so, would the difference<br>
between the 1.3 and the 1.4 without the cam be much. <br>
And between the 1.4 and the 1.3 with the cam?<br>
<br>
Sorry!<br>
