[QUOTE=kimer6;68500]OK then...switching to Metro convertible #3. I'll be putting in the reground XFI cam maybe today.

I installed the reground XFI cam yesterday. 3 hours start to finish, easiest cam change I ever did! I put the 8 degree advanced cam sprocket on as well.

The car runs nicely but it seems to struggle over 4500 rpm to redline, no big deal in my driving habits. There is less throttle needed at all lower speeds. Short shifting comes naturally and the engine is very smooth. I like it! Can't wait to track mpg numbers.
