Firefly Conv gets an XFI Camshaft

Was over to see Mike (superfly) from TeamSwift on the weekend.

My 91 Firefly Conv now has an XFI'd econo cam. I installed it this afternoon, didn't take very long. The cam looked like brand new, Mike does a really nice job on these. Car def has more torque between 2-3k rpm, and this cam has shifted the power down making it more usable. Still is a though! But expected haha!

My next mod will be to acquire a Tranny in good condn. I'd like one with a 3.79:1 final drive ..according to this link I'd find that on a 98-01 4 cyl metro, firefly?...anyone? 3.52 is probably a lil extreme for us since the wife mainly drives highway 110kph.

I was getting 40-41 US Mpg prior to this mod, so I'll post new readings when I have em
