My daily driver is an AUII Futura wagon 4.0l that is mainly used to take the rugrats to school and the occaisional trip away. It seems a bit dead down low on initial take off and doesn't seem to get going until about 2500 to 3000 rpm.
Has anyone here tried different cams and/or exhaust systems to improve this?
Was thinking of a Crow cam, extractors and a performance type exhaust system, but thought I'd ask for advice here first.

TRY JIM MOCK MOTORSPORT IN ALTONA VICTORIA . HE SELLS STALL CONVERTERS FOR AU's . WONT EFFECT FUEL ECONOMY BECAUSE THEY LOCK UP IN TOP GEAR , BUT IT WILL GET UP AND BOOGIE BETTER OFF THE MARK. ABOUT $650 OR ABOUT $900 INSTALLED WITH TRANNY COOLER.
Was done under warranty at 45k, so it had Ford stuff used. When you say composite gasket, do you mean like a graphite one? We have been experimenting at work with different types. I reckon I would have done at least 20 EA to EL headgaskets last year.

This will do little if anything to improve performance. If you read around the forums a bit you'll notice that the falcon cats are considered to be very good flowing and better than alot of aftermarket ones.
In addition to doing absolutely nothing, you could cop a $20,000 fine for removing an emissions control device.
Please don't promote illegal behavior in these forums- does nothing good for our reputation.

I AGREE TOTALLY , LEAVE THE HOON FACTOR AT THE TRACK
Stall converters are great but seriously why would you fit a 3000 stally to a family car very soon im in the process of fitting a 2500 as the standrad is only 1800-1900 fords need a better first gear ratio.
