well the 3 litre cams came as standard from the msd tuned engines for the GSi's so what were they 192bhp or something like that?
and as for the fpr i have no facts or proof but i don't think it would give you anything above 1bhp and thats if your lucky
but you have to remember that the x25xev has been given a false bhp figure from vx, it was released with a 168bhp but i have seen standard lumps kicking 190, your best bet G is to dyno it before and after  :yes:

BP270 cams, sports filter, S/Steel cat back system and ported head and what did it make?...172bhp I was [censored]ed. You have to be careful with some of the changes you make as it can drop power.

What does the auto have as standard? The manual 2.6 is quoted between 170 and 185 depending on who you believe.
