Who here has a 3.06 ratio on a non-sle?
This is why he mentioned it.

We are talking a modded car, not stock. For a N/A L27 to be quick you are going to have to make the thing breath better to help with power in the upper RPM. You can't just say the power is all low RPM and just focus on that.

It does make sense, when the new cam is in with the more agreesive grind, the engine vacuum should be able to pull more no?.. hence the need to upgrade the axhaust tubeing with more than just a highflow cat, maybe upgrade to 2.5" tubes all round?

any comments , ideas??
thanks
