Just wanted to add that you need to talk with your tuner or som1 that has tuned a lot of camed ls1's. Ask them what camshafts worked best for them and what camshaft manufacturers they have found to be the best . Also make sure that you dial in the camshaft. I wouldnt buy a come racing or Crow...

i started the car up with the cam, it doesnt like to idle much. i have to get a new power steering pump, so by the time i get that in i should have time to drive it to the tuners. There only about 50mins away mainly highway driving.

Thanks you explaining that for me :idea3: . I should have time to finish it today, ill let yous know how it goes.:beer chug:

??????????????? so some say its ok to drive it around and some say its not???

I'am in the middle of installing a 224/228 camshaft, i have a mafless tune now but it could be a couple of weeks before i get time to get it tuned with the new cam. Is it ok to drive the car with out being tuned for the cam? Can i rev it the motor or should i wait until its tuned? Will the...

Using compressed air is only for changing the valve springs and i did that about 2years ago, to heavy duty ones. Can you explain the wooden dowels that your talking about?? size?? where i can get them from??

I ended up buying a come racing 224/228 cam with .551 lift and a new timing chain set. I was thinking of trying pen magnets down the push rod holes to make sure the lifters dont fall in to the sump. but to buy 16 magnets is going to cost around $160, does anyone know where i could get some...

So if i was going to go for a cam that sounds good, ok on fuel(i do mainly highway driving) and i dont realy want to be reving it past 6300rpm. Some of the cams i have seen are making peak power at 7000rpm (eg still want it to be street driveable). Because im bored with the power its making now...

Im after the specs for a 220/220 112 cam, should it have .581'' lift or .551'' lift? I have m6, 1.8 ratio rockers, twin 2.5'', extrators, 25%ud, larger tb, betta valve springs and a otr. im after around 270+rwkw.

I can understand you wanting to keep your car legal. But i think you would find that a mafless tune is conseded illegal on a vu ute, and if you found a asshole cop he could do you 4 it. Unless you have a bored out airflow meter,so that it looked standed. A k&N filter could give you a couple of...

I moved to WA from vic over 2 months ago and i hardly ever over took in the left lane over there. I drive my car almost every day and almost every day i have to over take people in the left lane. They dont even get the point if you sit behind them 4 a while. I dont know y people over here travel...

Does any one make a gilmer set up for a ls1? I dont know if this would help any way. even if a spray belt grip or water on the belts it doesnt stop the nosie, it did work a couple of months ago.:bang:

How could the pulleys not be lined up if there tight? I have a belt squeeling problem to, i have replaced all idler pulleys, both belts a couple of times, ud harmonic balancer and seal. took it to holden and they just shock there head. The water pump was replaced 50,000k ago and the power...

About a 3 weeks ago i finished putting in my rockers but then the rocker covers didnt fit. So i had to order some valve cover spacers, got them on and started the car a week ago. Noticed a decent change in the car then. Got it tuned today at independent motorsport made 347hp very very happy:)...

kool thank you. ill get a new clutch when i have some spare money or until i kill my stock one, haha dont think thats going to be long once i get it tuned. ill let you know how the rockers go:)

thanx. wat is the advantage of a remote bleeder and braided line?

I have ordered some crow valve springs, retainers and pushrods. Should be here next week, hoping to get it done by the end of the week. Then i just need to get a tune and a new clutch. does any one know how much i would pay for a textrailia clutch? or some suggestions of other good heavy duty...

Yeah ive done it, its called a throttle Body By-Pass. Just stops hot water from being pumped around your throttle body so the air doesnt warm up as much b4 it enterers the inlet manifold. I wouldnt do it if you lived in the snow as its there 2 stop your throttle body frezzing up. Dont no if it...

I just got some prw 1.8 ratio roller rockers for my vx ss. I have been told that i need to get some heat treated pushrods, the reason was something about the guide plates rubbing, is this ture? Also does the length of the pushrods need to change with different ratio rockers? The other thing is i...
