Hi all,
I'm running a 1990 Series 1 Buick 3800 V6 in my VN. It runs fine, and its being fitted (by me) with cold air intake, extractors, exhaust, and recoed heads with uprated 110lb valve springs.
I'm looking to fit a Crow 6071563 camshaft (207/210 degrees @ .050" lift, .472" max lift, 112 degree lobe centre). Its rated as 2000 to 6000rpm. From experience this shouldn't be too crazy, just a nice bump over the stock camshaft, which in the series 1 motor is about [email protected]" and .440" lift.
My question is: With the above modifications, will the standard Memcal be okay or will I need an aftermarket / tuned one? I'm not after every last ounce of performance, merely a good upgrade over stock without losing too much economy or drivability. Ideally it would be better in all respects.
If anyone can help me out with some info I'd be very appreciative.
Cheers - boingk
