    vcm 360 or 480

    I wouldn't bother with the change, to me its not worth it. For more low down torque I would be taking it to a decent engine shop/builder and asking them too Dial in the cam properly, also having the heads shaved will increase compression and low down torque, but need to be careful with the...

    Ls3 stalling under throttle

    your kidding right? The long duration of the exhaust on aftermarket cams in these LS engine is more common than you think, The volume of the intake runner of an LS3 head is around 260cc (exh 90cc) along with a massive intake valve 2.160" vs 1.590" for the ex.

    [LS1] Ls1 plugs with different with different heads

    LS1's come with 2 types of heads early 853's and 241's, I'd go for the 1.0mm or a touch smaller with original NGK style copper core LS1 spark plug change as its easy as and at least you know what your plugs look like when replacing them after 10-15k

    1. Most likely have more power and economy, yes it will wear out your accelerator pedal :driving: 2. no it won't as long as the tune is done correctly. A factory tune is fairly conservative. Tuning actually involves correct air/fuel ratio and adding more timing for greater throttle response and...

    Anybody got a new vcm532 cam

    how is the preload on those rockers? I would have thought the pushrods maybe too small! usually the base circle of an aftermarket cam is smaller than stock! Maybe the tie bars are little higher than stock?
