vz cam kits

[asza_b]

hi i have a vz sv6 and want to find out if there are any cam kits available for the 3.6L yet and how much they would cost me if they are out yet

[monaro327]

plenty out looking at around $3-3.5 grand installed. PM was working a a kit for about $2grand installed. only replaces the intake cams though.

[baracuda]

why change the cam if its variable?

[andyman]

more aggressive lifts, and what not

[monaro327]

same reason you'd change any cam more lift more duration

Is it really necessary to capitalise every single word? It's annoying to read and actually makes it harder to read for some reason.

[monaro327]

CHE have had them on offer for about 1 year i'd say.

[Weekend Warrior]

i would prefer to save a little bit more for a Raptor SC system or even better a Turbo system.

[monaro327]

thats probably better value for money might not make as much power as cams but will be better on the road with more usable power.

FYI i called CHE today at work and the dude i spoke to said himself, Cams are not worth the money you pay, $6000 fitted and tuned was the qoute!

Monaro, where are these other cams for $2K located, would pay right now for them! who does them, contact details?

[monaro327]

for $6k he must of been including an cpr6?

Phil from PM told me he was trying to develop a intake cam only kit just replaces the 2 intake cams helping to sell for about $2k. this was some time ago maybe he has sorted a profile now you will only gain from cams with a cpr6 though.

[impulsive]

$6000 for the cams and tune, VERY EXXY what is pm? CPR6 cost 6k in itself doesnt it

remember there are 4 cams, and im guessing something to do with the VVT doesnt help

I heard 2K for the CPR6...?

[impulsive]

turns out no where can i find a proper qoute for the CPR6 guess ill have to confirm the rumours with facts, as far as i am aware from ppl talking it is around 3K somewhere..

[Kal123]

There is a group buy in the making... Could get a pretty decent price through that. The thread is around here somewhere...

EDIT: CPR6 group buy

[monaro327]

cpr6 costs $2060 inc gst posted anywhere in aus have to order form right in front of me.

[FAT.36L]

Is The CPR6 Worth 2K

Whats The Power Diffrence??

[monaro327]

20-25rwhp.

[Ewok]

heh, I'll take my 360awhp skyline over a $2k 25hp increase anyday No, it's not worth the upgrade. Your best upgrade would be to sell the car and buy a V8, upgrading power on a V6 is throwing money in a black hole. If it were viable to produce more power from the motors cheaply, the manufacturer would have done that a long time ago. Don't get me wrong, I loved my SV6, but I was under no illusion that it was fast, it was quick for what it was, but it will never be a V8 or a turbo 6.

Spot on. Last week I was looking at a $3000 exhaust package...I had a think about it over the weekend and thought...Why when I'm just going to want more power and buy a V8 anyway.

[Ewok]

I used to be a huge advocate for modified power from a V6, but then just started looking at all the mods and the amount of cash you need to be able to first get yourself to V8 power level and then to move past it, and it's a SHITLOAD cheaper to just buy a V8 and mod that, spend less money overall and have more power than you would have been able to get out of a 6 in the first place. I love sub 12 sec quater miles...

Yeah im resurrecting this thread. Ewok the original post for this thread was asking how much for a cam kit for a v6, then u start going on about how u should just get a v8 and stop throwing ur money into a "black hole". Not everyone has a V8 for one reason or another, and some people want to make the most out of WHAT THEY HAVE, what is wrong with that? whether u start out with a 6 or an 8 who gives a s**t. People dont get 6's cos they want to get more power than an 8, that doesnt make much sense now does it.

And i disagree when u say "its a shitload cheaper to buy a v8 and mod that"

A. v8's are more expensive to buy
B. cost more to run
C. probly go through more rubber than a 6
D. there are less mods for a alloytech 6 than a V8

put those 4 together and i doubt V8's are cheaper
