Would this be the cam?

212/218 - .522/.529 w 1.7 rocker - 114 LSA

Don't think it's going to be lumpy

So whats are the laws over there regarding cats?

[VYss Kiwi]

NO laws yet,although they are trying,so go hard till then.Yes that is the cam,Think im going to onsell and look at others.Maybe the 275 cam.One problem here in NZ is to find a Tuner as i would need to retune with a bigger cam.

[BOMI]

Mate I have a very small and similar cam in my VY Auto, its has a nice just above stock lumpy idle.

If you go a massive cam you will suck fuel and loose street drivability.


My 2 cents.... Oh and welcome to track chat :bravo: :waving:

Troy :)

[VYss Kiwi]

Cheers for the welcome,I was thinking just the next step up for the cam,Comp cam has in there technical page some Audio sounds of some of there Cams,Interesting to listen to them.However this would depend on Exhaust typ.My Comme has a bit of a crakle at the start of foot down then turns into of a race sound,Infact it sound very sim to the white VY SS at the drags on another thread,there was a link to the vid.Wow she goes off.What Cam do you have? and what do you think of it?

232/234@112 is fine for the street Bomi :)

In an A4 but in a M6 it would be a bit different IMHO, just MHHO :D

i get 240km per tank in my car,,who cares, it goes fast :lmao:

[VYss Kiwi]

Yep Highlander, thats the Comme doin the drag,Nothin better than go fast,and good torque.As far as gas and who gives a.Well I like the comme to work for me, not me work for it.Three kids and a wife.Can still get loads of grunt with economy with the right combination of modes and tune.Hard to resist the temptation to get more grunt though.thats y we are petrol heads.:beer:

[highlander_69r]

econamy, thats the reason i brought the sv6 . i hear there is a 220/220 with .580 on the lift, texas speed make it i think, that stick with a good tune might just be the answer to your prayers ;)

thats the kiwi spirit mate, i got a 400 twin turbo with a nice turbo cam inside her. 5 bucks a squirt on the road but well worth the look on peoples faces, especially the new farrari i whipped the other day and two bikes :lmao:

Infact it sound very sim to the white VY SS at the drags on another thread,there was a link to the vid.Wow she goes off.What Cam do you have? and what do you think of it?

You may be referring to Lautray (Eriks) white SS.
Has a 224/228 cam and heads.

[VYss Kiwi]

Ye thats the comme,Gota love it Ah.Think as iv already got this cam ill give it a wheerl,can always upgrade later.T,Kiwi,do you get the, Out of control laughing fits as you blow expensive sports cars.I get a head rush,its all good.Highlander,think ill poke some holes in my exhaust or maybe wind the window down and make a good cam noise with the old voice box.:nopity: :nopity:

White vx ss :D. CompCams 224/228 112lsa great cam. Lumpy-ish idle at 800rpm. Much better than stock down low, but give it 3000+ & then yeehah all the way to ~7000. Russo heads have definitely helped the midrange. Definitely turns the tyres much easier now. Uber highway cruising economy if that's your thing too :).

Also, if you want lumpier idle with this cam, wind back the idle rpm a bit more... <800rpm. If that doesn't shake, nothing will.
