heres a scary thought (for non AU owners anyhow).. this time next year there will be quite a few G&D sterioded I6 and V8 Au's floating about tormenting the hell out of BA's, Commy's, ricers and anything else on the road. Going to get to a point where the G&D sticker on the rear window will be like tha rattle on a rattlesnake.. "take me on at your own peril" What an awesome time to own an AU!

I cant wait to have a G&D Performance sticker on my car, no one will race me then :( my exhaust scares em off as it is!!! lol
Atleast after Glenn is finished with it (finished? haha) it will have a bigger bite than its bark.. at the moment it barks big, but bites like a puppy. Casper, what you mean tormenting, dont you mean leaving in cloud of tyre smoke :P |

It's been very interesting reading through this thread.
I've noticed a move away from JMM towards G&D over the last little while. Will someone explain this please! GK |

I'm known for going after as much power as I can.. G&D are going to be the leaders for AU I6 and V8 in that field. All you have to do is talk to them and you can see it. Therefore I'm going where the power and service are. They have made a committment to the AU owners on here to be the best, I am holding them to that committment and so far they have backed it up 100% Give me a few more weeks and you will see some REALLY interesting stuff from them

Then again, there were lots of people not being able to get it quite right, and the need to keep playing around with things. I guess that's got to be a right pain in the rear when you've spent good sums of money in the first place! In any case, I'm glad there are many giving them a go, helping them to refine and develop their gear. All Au owners then get the benefit. Casper, is there a mod to be soon revealed? LOL! GK |

What would be required to fit a VCT cam to a non-VCT engine? And is it worth it, or just go the non-VCT cam and tune?

given that the VCT engine was totally and utterly ignored for about 7 years... yes, I am excited. PR or not, who gives a crap. I finally have found someone who is not only willing to do VCT cams but has gone ahead and actually done them..
So yes, I am over the moon and, give it a while, I'll be out showing exactly what the VCT engine is capable of. Then all those who laughed, scoffed and called it an old mans XR6 can feel free to put it down anytime they like.. while I laugh at them in my rear vision mirror.

Its about time isn't it.
before GND you had to diable the VCT and run a wicked cam with no bottom end like the rest of us SOHC falcon owners. The difficulty will be the SOHC VCT doesn't give a great deal of control with it advancing the cam 10 odd degrees between 1200-3800rpm as it advances inlet and exhaust obviously so not sure that the VCT cams will be dyno day winners for N/A SOHC sixes. Should be better on the street and strip though. |

I don't want to be left out of the loop. I don't want my AU being overshadowed by the Cylinder defficient AU crew. I want edit, full exhaust, 3.9s, CAI. I think that will keep most 6 cylinders honest. A 13 second bolt on AU1 XR8? Then wait till I cam her! MWahahaha. Okay back to reality... *Cobra looks in the piggy bank with a sad face*
*Sigh* One day you guys will be able to tinker with my car. Till then, make the AU owners proud. Top job G&D! |

all this talk of VCT cams and development is giving me phat.
When these VCT cams are realeased , will they be something only GnD can install due to the VCT system or will any old worksop be able to bang one in? James |

As far as I know there are also a number of different VCT designs so we dont jut get "1 or nothing", we get a choice of cam.
