so it's the 2.5L not the 2.6L?
funny thing is the 2.6L is the rare motor, yet i havent seen a 2.5L in person :).
i know they get rid of the egr valve on the 2.5L in the uk, and you can put the 3.0L omega cams in them to give a bit more go, about 10-20hp without need for tuneing for the cams.
where abouts are you located?

The 2.5's are common place in the Vectra B over here, nice and silky smooth engine an boxes, 2.6's are quite rare too - they only came in for a short run from (about) 2000 / 2001...

Yeah - 3 Litre cams, EGR valve, decent air filter scenario decent leads and plugs, ECU remap - This should see you right to about 190 ish BHP....
