XFi cam

Hi there.
Not only did I install an XFi cam but I also replaced my final drive gear set with one from a 4 cyl.
I tell the truth when I say that there is almost no change in performance, although passing is still a chore.
My driving habits have been changed to a more serene conduct.
All this said, and it's winter, my conservative estimate is that I'm doing 8-9 more miles per gallon. It's quite ardouous to translate in mpg but I do 550 km per tankfull. Summertime, a little less in winter.
Even though I have heard so many different opinions about burning super in our sewing machine cars, even though the price of said fuel is more expensive, when everything is calculated I get 30 FREE km when using it.

I like my car so much that I treated it to a very thorough new paint job, worth many times the value of the car. Espresso Nero lives on...and on....and on.
DO THE SWAP! Do BOTH swaps! And be happy. Drive consevatively and you will stretch the car, your life and your dollars.
