QUOTE "The 276 will make more torque than the stock cam and a little more top end, if you are going to want a cam with a daily driver that wont see high rpm you can do better and if you want a crazy sound and overall acceleration you can also do better so it's kinda a middle man cam, nothing too exciting I guess but a safe bet you are looking at 2 tenths slower than the 4503/4502 on this one."

does this mean that the crane 276 will do wot u have written here or u can get a better 1 than this?

the 286 will need a rise in comp and a decent intake manifold. the 286 will want to spin to 6000rpm+ the stock banana manifold will choke it

So what size cam would you recommend for a 5litre In a VN calais and how much are they worth?, thats being built for a burnout car, So low speed circle work running for no longer than 3/5 minutes at a time sitting at peak for around 2 minutes or so tops.

Rebuilt Trans with manual Valve body

Pacemaker Pro comp extractors, into a custom twin 2, 3/4 system crossed over just after the trans with a resignator on each pipe both dumped either side Infront of the back wheels

Diff is getting a Spool with 4.11 diff gears,

Engine has done 260,000km from what i gather although it may have been swapped at some stage but I have no idea.

Air intake I'm doing is a Pod filter blocked of from the engine bay, then cutting a hole in the engine bay under were the air filter normaly is and running a pipe down infront of the wheel and coming out in the front bumper so its sucking air from out side directly



Looking forward to ya help, If theres anymore info you need ask away.

Hey mate love learning stuff on Here great help just wondering wat kinda cam you think would go great in my car I'm not really into the strip more just for cruising maybe a little drag off the lights. Well I have a vt clubby it has Starr 90m manifold (bannana) 2 1/2 twin exhaust hi flow cats, hsv extractors, and 3.9 gears in diff. Any help would b great cheers.

Green foam, amazing thread.

Could you please inform us less knowledgable people of how the different cam specs ie: lobe height, seperation, duration etc, affect/work with different car mods eg:
Exhaust, intake, fuel, compression, diff gears, porting, timing etc.

As every performance mod makes power differenty each mod would require a different cam spec to suit. Even if theres a rule of thumb any knowledge of the camshaft would be great.

In advance cheers.
