There is another quick 2.6 now, mine needs to get used to the new cams but pulls like a 3.0 over 5000rpm.

I reckon mine is now second quickest 2.6 on the forum after Mikes.

When I have redone 135 head gasket and checked over to a higher standard than now it will fly.

As to head skimming - too many fixed bolt positions I found.

Mike's is quick.

I suspect yours could be embarrassed by most decently maintained 2.5/2.6 manuals...

Let the battle commence

Love it....... a bit of competition

Let's have a 3.0i battle too

Mine is ported, 3.0 inlet splitter and 3.0 cams, pulls like a 3.0 over 5000 rpm - can someone move this to GC?

[VXL V6]

Be interesting to run it against my 3.2 (completely standard).

[Martin_1962]

Yours would be quicker - but 2.6 are lower geared.

Can I hang on to your kit until I redo 135?

Very useful and after watching the DVD properly - easy

[Martin_1962]

I used to own a 3.0 and that is why I reckon at top end it goes like one

Yes Martin, no problem

Mine is the same over 5,000rpm it just goes and goes and with no limiter and the traction control turned off it's fun fun fun

Yours would win if its in good condition

It doesn't go quite like a 3.0l, and that autobox will never do a 0-60 like a manual.
