Ive recently installed and tuned a VY SS from Victoria, was originally tuned with a MAFLESS by G&D in Melbourne (nothing against u guys, hes now been shipped over here for work) realled of 226rwkw, made the journey from Melbourne to Adelaide for a camshaft install, drove back to Melbourne with 303rwkw, stopping in at Calder for a few passes, fuel consumption averaged 8.5Ltrs/100km on his journey on the highway.

The vehicle with nothing more than a twin 2.5" Supercat system, standard catalitic convertors, pacemaker 1 5/8 extractors, 25% underdrive balancer, CAIOTR, with standard shifter, in full weight minus luggage.

With standard clutch which has now seen better days, FE2 suspension, and standard 3.46 ratio, ran a 11.9 @119MPH.

Many also know of a VX & VY both cammed and NOS, producing just over 400rwkw, so expect to see decent MPH and a mid 10 on the cards.

Id like to give as many 1/4 mile times as i could, but unfortunatly without a track here in SA its hard, and with many cammed cars from the stable, only 10% are really interested in 1/4 times.

I have recently purchased one of these cam packages from Brad & have been more than impressed.Not only by the results but the professional service he provides. Since I live 1500km away he supplied the kit & also sourced the necessary tooling to do the job. Because I have Efilive & a Roadrunner emulator he also supplied the base tune to get the car running & drivable to speed up the tuning process.
Installation took around 8 hours with a few phone calls to Brad to explain a few tricks he has in minimising install time, as well as the exhaust specs necessary to help the cam breathe to its potential.
At $3000 installed & tuned this is great value for money. The only problem i have now is my standard clutch can not handle the increased power. I would recommend that you get a tex or equivalent fitted at the same time if you dont already have one.
Thanks again Brad. I will post up a dyno sheet after I get the clutch fitted & the car on the rollers.

Good to hear everything is coming together Mick, how did u go on the rollers.

Cheers Brad

I will be in touch in the next couple of weeks (I hope) to order a z grip etc off you. I didnt think it would be worth sticking it on the dyno till i can get all the power to the wheels.
Like you we have had a bit of rain & cool weather around so I have been doing a lot of logging on the road to get the temp modifiers dialled in.The car runs real strong now, sounds awesome & gets comments from everyone that hears it, apart from the cat who runs away whenever I get home.

That seems like a really good deal, When i get the clubby i may have to take a road trip to adelaide. Do you offer the same kind of deals for the 304 (In a VS Clubsport)?

Yes VS clubsport camshaft package is $3500, if auto suggest high stall,

diff gears suggested on both Auto and Manual

What about a price for a cam swap and tune only for a 5ltr? No extras needed.

[cpbait]

how much would it cost to get a decent cam package supplied for a gen3(to melbourne), i'm thinking bout maybe putting a cam in in the new year sometime, when i do my exhaust and a cai want a cam that will produce gwd power and economy to go with the zorst and intake, but still be drivable as a daily and have a nice v8 note to it?, or would i be better waiting a bit longer and getting forged pistons and a charger a bit later on? as i want to put a charger on it later down the track.

Just drive to Adelaide it will be easier, as its only 7 hours away anyway.

Should i give you a call to get an answer? Ill call you!

Should i give you a call to get an answer? Ill call you!

An email was sent to the address u supplied me in the pm nearly 3 weeks ago. As i havnt recieved a email from my service provider u should have recieved it.

In the email it will have an attachment of a printed quote.

Cheers Brad

[Dan355]

Ok mate, i didnt get it. Ill just call you early next week.
Cheers!

do you offer cams for the ls4? im eaton M122 supercharging it later dow the track but ive heard that goin big on a cam can have backwards effects on the supercharger? that im better going with a mild cam that breathes better rather then a massive one that makes the ground shake, true/false?

it really depends on what u want from the vehicle overall, where u want your peak power & torque, economy, drivability,

camshaft LSA is critical when selecting a camshaft for forced induction, and type of forced induction being used.

this is the set up i want to run overall: 4 into 1 1.75" pacemakers, 3" metal cats, twin 3" mendral bent all the way. Yella Terra 1.8:1 Roller Rockers, harrop HH122 top mount blower. and the rest, springs, rods, cam etc i dont know yet. im still looking for reasonable economy with more low to mid range power rather then top end. lets face it im not going to be hitting 6 grand to work every morning lol do the heads need to be upgraded? heard there pretty good if cleaned and ported.

listened to a couple on youtube and some of em sound terrible. i like the lumpy idle but thats not what im looking for.

Sorry whats LSA?

cylinder heads can be left standard and they will still support 400+rwkw

however with the supercharger u have decided on, camshaft design is very critical to achieve a good balanced vehicle, eg...light throttle, to WOT. Id suggest a GTS spec camshaft (note....no lumpy idle) as the blower will suffer if u move to far away from this camshaft.

Smaller pulley on the blower will be required if u want to run 9psi, expected power 350-370rwkw as the supercharger going to be used, will suffer extreamly at high rpm's eg......5500rpm on.

Over the next week, i will write up information on LSA, duration, and the effects with NA, forced induction or NOS with detailed pictures explaining.

whats more drivable - GENTT or HH122? and whats the price difference fitting etc? am i looking at a silimar cam for both applications? sorry for all the questions, im in limbo atm to what i should do lol.

can i get a mild cam with the GENTT system that gives a bit of idle growl?

in my opinion the supercharger will net u a better low down, and mid than the turbo's, top end power will be roughly the same, as the turbo's that will be used are very small. however the exhaust system will be far more evedent with the blower, as turbo's work as a muffler.

As for engine bay temperatures the turbo's will definately increase engine bay temps, compaired to the supercharger. Also dont forget turbo's need to be cooled otherwise they will fail, and turbo timers are illegal, so u have to remember this when driving the vehicle.

IAT's are alot hotter with the blower thou, so as a comparison between the two setup's they both have there advantages and disadvantages.

Superchargers run a drive belt, so yes blower belts have to be replaced. Any upgrade boost levels the pulley and belt has to be changed resulting in added expense.

Where a turbo system can easily be controlled to 2 different boost levels by the flick of a switch.

In my opinion go the turbo's, but go big enough as u will far more enjoy it, in my signature click on one of the links of my own personal car, and have a read, it might help u make your decision.

with all this talk about forced induction, knowing me ill propably whimp out and go a tuff N/A engine.... lol

what made you choose the vortec over a topmount?

See you've done things i was looking into. all the coolant, power steer cooler, tranmission and engine oil coolers. make a big difference in temp? also its HPC coating the extractors worth it?

could you get 400rwkw from an n/a? or are we strictly in forced induction territory?

Like you im aiming for power with fuel economy, power when i need it. Havent researched much into diff gears and by the sounds of it they make a big difference. i do alot of highway k's and ive heard that in 6th your bearly over idle. but isnt that a good thing?

Keep reading on in the thread, u will now see what i run (twin turbo with large turbo's) do i break things yes.....2 clutches later in approx 1000km's so yes it does get expensive, but when your running 500+rwkw driveline breakages are common, it depends if you like standing on the loud pedal.

Currently to this day, vortec's and turbo's rule at the track, where the top mount hasn't even got close.

Ive spent alot of dollars and time on R&D in the forced induction field, hence why ive already written many disadvantages and advantages with different systems.

Whilst getting to 400rwkw is much easier with forced induction, more fuel efficient than doing it n/a, it can be achieved more costly than any forced induction package on the market.

At the moment, im removing my built engine for forced induction (heads, cam, roller rockers,etc etc...), turbo kit and fuel system, bolt in and tune and be happy with 500rwkw @ 12psi as its up for sale as we speak, as im returning the car back to a tow car, the only reason why im doing my new project, is i didnt want to install a roll cage in the family car.

The new project will contain 2x 1100hp turbo's, so yes im staying turbo's

[VZLAD]

So thats $3,000 total ???? (includes tune ? ).. price on larger injectors ?? Tex clutch ?

[BANKS]

saw your car in street commodores, nice work best on the dyno ay

tezza i thought u had to buy a fence or has christmas come early for you in 2008

as in your case injectors will be required, normally guys purchase secondhand ls6 manifolds and injectors

the camshaft package does inc a tune.

tex clutch z-grip suggested.

thanks champ, wait till i release my latest power figures from my new project car. Turbo's are rates at 1100hp each.

the car we now estimate 525rwkw on that dyno @ 12psi, its now being stripped and being turned into a tow car.
