I would agree and this is just my hobby tuning AU's.

oed i'd say its probably just a typo on your cam card.all au i6's including xr6 run the 1.8 rocker ratio.
There sure are and buggered if I know why but early AU1 heads seem to better than later AUII/III heads.

Best bet still is good old EF XR6 94DT head though.

Ohh i see your problem. Theres no engine and ull struggle to turn without a wheel.

Why bother buying that and putting an AU engine in it. U may aswell find like a really old cab for next to nothing and work on that engine. Your only gonna change all the internals so its no matter if its not in the best condition mechanically.

It certainly did.. and smashed its way in with a 13.8 on the first run last I heard. Awesome stuff of a TRUE daily driver, even if it isnt in an AU body (and is a fair bit lighter).
