Looks like a weapon, I have a GTB as well that I'm just about to do a motor rebuild on and I had a couple of questions I'm not sure if you've already covered.
Are you still using the stock ECU even with the upgraded camshafts? Has it affected the drivability of the car? Also what sort of compression ratio does the motor have? Awesome work so far!

hey mate, thanks

yeah still using the stock ECU...still got 8.5:1 comp, next motor will have 9:1...who's doing the rebuild? a rebuild won't effect the drivability of your car, a tune will greatly affect it..

Probably Ichiban and tuned my JEM, just looking into everything at the moment. Any changes in drivability in regards to the bigger cams though? I guess it greatly depends on the tune though, I still want to be able to daily the car if I have to

Im dailying 272s, no problems at all

Im dailying 272s, no problems at all

Not that I'm overly concerned about fuel economy, but do the cams kill the economy even with normal driving?

If tuned correctly (e.g AVCS) should be no different in normal driving ...
