    If you search cam surge LS3 on YouTube it comes up with cam surge on an LS7 by track star media I’ll be going with them they seem to have a decent following and know what they’re doing.

    Yep that’s the plan fortunately came across a cam surge video on YouTube. A shop in the USA has fixed the surge even on large cams and has offered to help

    After trying to live with the surge I’ve decided to go down the hp tuners route. Placed an order for an MPVi2+ and plan to unlock the ecu. Hopefully it’s an easy fix once the ecu is unlocked.

    The only issue is finding a tuner. Do you have any recommendations?

    So they finally agreed to my claims about surging and stated the surging is happening due to the nature of the cam. They claim it does it because RPM fluctuate 50-70 rpm Under light throttle and coasting. I’ve taken there response with a grain of salt but I’m just going to leave it as it is they...

    HSV muffler size?

    I’m thinking of nabbing hsv bimodal mufflers. Are the VF hsv electric bimodal mufflers 2.5 inch?

    Still jerks back n fourth on light throttle on flat road and coasting downhill 75-100 doesn’t do it under load up hill. Also does it when letting engine engine braking around 80kmh.

    Nope asked for a ride along drive but covid was an issue at the time. Haven’t touched the issue again since then just living with it atm and working around it hopefully nothing breaks.

    I’ve sent them a lengthy message highlighting the remaining issues however I fear I’ll get the ordinary response saying it’s normal for a big cam to act like that. Either way if it’s not fixed the third time then I’ll have to resort to other tuners unfortunately.

    Also side note doesn’t backfire 90 percent of the time but I was still able to make it backfire twice on the drive home. Haha this is great because Dave at front desk even said no it doesn’t backfire anymore haha.

    Do you recommend I get it tuned somewhere else? Because Ik others have the same cam and they don’t have similar issues when cruising.

    I did ask something similar earlier but they said I can’t be in the car with them because of covid.

    picked up the vehicle two hours ago and it still bogs down when Floored from a stop but there’s no backfire anymore. The surging at a stop has been fixed and downshifts into 1st smoothly now. However still a bit of rocking back n fourth from 80-96 but hardly noticeable at 100. I hope the rocking...

    Issue is castle hill performance are regarded as a good tuner in Sydney. Hopefully they can rectify it Not really keen spending more on tuning after paying 6.8K

    Cam Surge

    Well the weird thing is they did test drive it before handing it to me initially and according to them it was fine. More than likely didn’t floor the car obviously as the issue doesn’t occur when feeding the throttle.

    What 3" exhaust is this?

    But seeing as you don’t have rear hurricane mufflers I would put it up for 800-900
  21. HDJ

    What 3" exhaust is this?

    Well that’s a bit hard as idk if it’s stainless or mild but a brand new hurricane fatback goes for 1600-1900 depending on steel used. You could probably put it up for around 1200-1400 depending upon the steel

    Driving it at 70-80 atm on Windsor road it’s just horrible I have to say just constant bucking and surging almost like the trans is downshifting and up shifting continuously.

    The only excuse I can give them is it was there last day and they fitted me in last minute for the cam.

    I’m worried I might break something a Because when you get back on the throttle even with slightest pressure when cruising it clunks harshly into gear.

    Hopefully they can sort it out. It even stalled when I revved it in neutral.

    So decided to go ahead and cam my ssv it was booked in and ready for pickup on 17th December. Since I’ve picked it up I’ve noticed when cruising at 75-80kmh it surges and bucks back n forth. It does it from 1300-1600RPM completely goes away past 2000RPM. Also idle to 1200RPM if I put my foot...

    So popped down to sureflo exhaust in Sydney now I’m not sure if there’s any truth to this but he claimed manta exhaust is now made in China and further stated that he had a few customers complain about drone as well. He also claimed my hurricane headers and cats are poor quality and went as far...

    Really 2200 stock? mine only loads up to 1600 after that it just starts sliding. A cooler will be happening soon after the cam probably a month after I’ve pretty maxed out my budget atm.

    I should’ve been more clear it’s a brand new converter they install into the car. However it mimics everything factory stall has such as lockup. it has been used in a lot of cars they work on. Haven’t heard a negative review on there converters Yet. It’s 1350 without A tune. Russo Performance...
