- '01 VU Ute, Manual 5.7
hey,
i have a vt ss 5L and want to wake it up a bit. so far it has a larger CAI and pretty sure a 2.5'' exhaust from the headers back with hotdogs. i'm not looking to to much more than; full exhaust, lumpier cam, roller rockers and a tune at the moment.
i live in darwin atm so dont have the greatest range of performance places to go to.
for now i dont need a V8 supercar spec daily driver but i love the sound of a lumpy v8 just lazily crusing around and then when you put your foot down a bit; love the sound a lumpy cam makes as it works its way into high rev's.
also like the feeling when the engines peak power comes in in med to high revs.
when looking for a cam and a tune that's peak power comes in in med to high revs - what do i ask for? or is that it - i'm after a cam and a tune that will kick in in med to high revs?
also diff gears - should i stick with the stock 3.08's to match the med to high rev idea or would a set of 3.7's help you take off a bit faster but not be as effective in med to high revs like the higher stock gear set?
cheers
