want lumpier idle without spending big bucks

[vlbrockyowner]

i was just curious as to weather or not its possible to make a straight 6 vl commodore lumpy?? ive got genie extractors, a high flow cat and a 2.5 inch exhaust system, i know i can make it have a lumpy idle if i fork out fair wack of money for bigger cam, but is there anyway apart from that??

Take a plug lead off you cheap skate.

[vlbrockyowner]

yeah no haha i wanna do it right i was just curious if there where any other alternatives

[FATMOE]

As above take a lead off one at a time until you achieve the lumpiness your after.

[wraith]

No other way besides cam.

[Sik_Cordz]

to get a cam that will have somthing you desire. you will need to spend a fair amount of money mate. differnt engine but my old 304 engine i was running a fairly rough cam. and that had ported heads.high comp pistons.roller rockers.etc.

Pretty much always the way with cars.

so spend money

I edited your reply to accurately depict what happens when you buy a car

alternatively you could unplug a couple of injectors, safer than having a rogue spark lead floating around the engine bay

[vlbrockyowner]

well cheers for the help il start saving my pennies ive read alot of other threads about people saying its a waste in a na vl but i plan on keeping this engine for a loooooooong time, whats the best brand? ive heard crow cams is pretty good?

[wraith]

It is a waste when you consider how much better it is turbo'd. Crow are good. If I was you I would save for a turbo.

[vlbrockyowner]

very true but this is just my daily driver, i plan on buying another vl as a track day car, im thinkin a nice supercharged v8

[wraith]

Just a daily you want to stay N/A then just keep a good service up on it don't bother modifying the motor.

[Munz]

camtech cams if your planning to spend money

[siroller]

get a regrind. that'll be fine much cheaper than a brand name cam.

[vlbrockyowner]

cheers for all the help, how much is regrind?

[Jonah 101]

Going say 2.5in - 3in from your diff can make your car have an off beat not when it idles. Its not the same as a cam but its better than that uniform sounding drone.

[rb26dett]

Wont a decent cam change require an aftermarket computer of some description?

[Guzzoline addict]

I think some ricers use a Rotational Idle setup on n/a engines to get a rough idle (part of a anti lag system).Search ,Rotational Idle on youtube to see what i mean.

Pull the choke out a bit .......

[jdl6666]

A good cheap option is to contact wade cams and get an old cam reground! Usually costs around $150 plus return shipping. Surely gotta beat forking out $440+ for a new cam!

[Jonah 101]

Pull the choke out a bit .......

Or put the cam timing out by a few degrees. (seriously dont do that)

[vlbrockyowner]

pull the choke out abit?? and ive decided to get a regrind, any good places fellas? in nsw
