if you’re getting that “jerking” motion with your vehicle now… wait till you try the throttle controller @ setting 11 :eek:
Can u describe that jerkiness?

Basically for me rn, when I come down to 10km/hr or so, the vehicle starts jerking, dunno best way to describe but it keeps jumping back and forth. (Like a Holden Captiva with bad spark plugs if u ever had those. My Sv6 plugs are good tho)

Yeah yeah yeah, mine too. 1st gear manual missing the bite point jerkiness.

Apparently CAMS damage the engine on LFX ?

Cause a dude on the internet said it? There's heaps of results online of cams not damaging an LFX and pushing some pretty solid gains. They've been around for a very long time

Cheers for affirmation. Very hard to get hands on solid information. During period of cam installation, literally every mechanic ended up telling me something different than previous mechanic on enquires.
Not sure who to head to at this point.

You're asking the wrong person. I'm not here to tell anyone how to spend their cash
I never implied that you were telling me “how to spend my cash”

I simply asked if you think it’s worth the $$$’s?

The LFX is used in a bunch of US GM vehicles, there's heaps of info online of builds and vids on YouTube. It's just not a common runner here because we like our LS

Not really. It's a lot of money for the ponies and torque and it already didn't have a lot to begin with
