Lumpy cam for a 96 vs v6??

[sammyboyy]

Hey, just need some help or ideas on putting a lumpy cam into a vs v6 commodore?

Is it worth it? what benefits do u get? does it sound better?

Cheers Sam

Yes, more power, and Yes.

It only has 98,000 km so it should go good,
what sort of work does it take to instal it?

If you need to ask, its probably gonna be a bit of a learning curve for you. I suggest you go get a workshop manual showing an exploded view of the ecotec 3800 and figure it out from there.

They sound sweet mate, ive just put a custom billet cam in my VS, being a manual it burbles like CRAZY on the downshift, with a full exhaust setup and about 10.5:1 compression + worked heads. No it doesnt sound like a 5L but just as good. It's untuned at the moment so i don't know of it's power potential, it should be less lumpy after a tune, i reckon if i ran it on the headers now there'd be flames shooting out.

I liked your post right up until you said it sounded as good as a 5ltr.

I put a cam into a mates V6. Its fairly straight forward but ALOT easier out of the car.
As for the sound, pull a spark plug out on a standard motor and thats pretty much what it sounds like at idle.

Well personally i reckon it sounds as good as a 5L. That's not to say it sounds ANYTHING LIKE a 5L
