Hello Bros,
I would like to know what you guys think of the situation and what I should do next.
I recently swapped my camshaft for a longer duration 250+ cam from the factory original. It gives good idling and fits my needs well because the car is a daily car.
My 'problem' is this. I dont really feel much difference. In some areas things have inproved. In some areas, I would be hard pressed to say there was any difference.
After swapping I can tell for sure
At the moment, I have a Unichip installed with the usual Intake and exhaust mods. I spoke to a local tuner and he said "sorry la" automatics you can't really do much for it wan" Even a retune would not help much.
I spoke to the source of my cam and he also mentioned that I could be at the limit of my automatic gearbox.
So now I ask you.
1. Automatic Transmission so spastic wan mer?
2. Does anyone think a retune on the Unichip will yeild better results?
3. Can the transmission be modified?
BTW, the car is a Kembara, old version, automatic.
Thanx.

- Top end has improved to 175km/h
- Cruising at 150/160 on highways is more readily acheivable..
- Driving around KL, you can chug around in OD most of the time without feeling out of breath.
- No change to the 0 - 100km/h time. Hardly.
- Sometimes, you feel like the car is slow to respond, as if the cam was not swapped. In lower ends as well.
