[Buick] VR V6 Cam Upgrade

[St3alth187]

G'day guys, just found out that my rear main seal is leaking so the engine has to come out.

I was thinking.. While it was out ill change the engine mounts and was brainstorming ideas about putting in a mild cam.

If anyone has had any experience with the Buick 3.8, and brands/specifications would be helpful.

Please, I understand that the Buick isnt a powerhorse and that the money I spend would probably be worth spending on a V8 or even L67.
Thing is .. Right now I have the buick and nothing else

Cheers,
Jake.

if your gonna put a cam in i dont really see the point of putting a mild one in... save for another car or do some mods that would help a little bit with power and fuel economy

exaughst, air intake, upgrade ur plugs and leads just go the basic mods. If u want cam contact crow cams hopefully there is 1 where u are and find out from them ive got there stage 2 mega lumpy cam lifters and 185i memcal chip all for $500.

Yeah my car has the usual bolt ons:
2.25" Custom exhaust
Extractors
CAI

Im not expecting something huge.. Im just after something that is good value for money.
HR Roller rockers offer the same advantage a cam does, although a cam seems to be better value for money.

Contact Mace engineering. They have a special on NA Stage 2 Comp cams, which is miles better than just High ratio rockers. Probably get a tuned memcal to suit as well

Stage 3 Cam, Memcal and Springs for $850.
Doesn't sound too bad.

I wouldn't mind sourcing the parts myself and tuning it myself. I'm pretty handy with computers..
