Spend 5k on a new 5l engine and get it imported if you want 300bhp plus then sell your old engine..Mark Adams will send you a chip for the engine spec or go aftermarket..

hi DAZ i am renovating my gym for now.so can spend only 1k to 2k without my gf to kick my ass.i am not looking for huge hp but for some nice extra midrange torque.after the ACT trumpets i am pretty happy how the engine behave.now it has 58000km so i think she will like a new cam to restore what ever she lost.

You can`t go to mad cam wise on your engine because its just standard.The stealth may not go but the MC1 will be fine..Ask V8 D for options..

My standard 400 (well exhaust aside ) puts out 229 BHP, so not really that hard.

I think Garlick will have the definite answer to the question posed in the thread title.

I would save your money then bacause an LS kit is avilable already from sportmotive. I see so many questions on you engine choices I can only think if you spend your 2K your still aint gonna be happy. Check out the sortmotive website and aim for that then I think you will have what you wanted to start with.

I have a completely standard 400 (apart from ACT induction kit) and before I fitted that I was chucking out 228 at the fly.
