- In this technical based video VCM Performance shows us a range of off-the-shelf camshafts to suit GM LS based V8 engines. These are aimed at engines still using the factory auto torque converter and for those who drive their car everyday and do not want to compromise things like fuel economy or drive-ability but still would like a lift in engine performance.

If I do a cam swap, I definitely don't want to fly under the radar.
Make it chop!
Havnt seen any videos like this in awhile on the channel.
What are your thoughts in the VCM262 in an auto with stock converter in a VX?
Are you guy's changing anything on the heads or valve train.
What do you guys recommend for a VU ls1
Id like to make so.e more power i have a stock ls1 would like to start witn cam ...any suggestions on cam this is a manual trans car
Regarding the VCME5, in the video you have the RPM range as 2400-6300 but in the VCM grind list on your Web site it's 2000-6400+. Is there a typo somewhere or is it all very subjective?
What cam is recommended for a 04 LR4 4.8 daily driver
Lsx tuneing told me vcm cams are from camtech. He also said he didnt like there cams due to them creating valvetrain noise. Anyone? Lsx are very respected in the tune game in sydney.
Can you use the E9 in a VZ 5.7 liter with a 4 speed auto and stock gears and convertor. :)
How much power do they produce?
What cam do you recommend for my Silverado 5.3 to increase tow power? I haul my 4300 lbs RV.
a DH 42F camshaft with 1.9326 rockers with stock beehive amendases considering your smog legal.
for most guys.....id say call your preferred company and they'll recommend or custom grind you a cam FOR YOUR USES
Vcm e5 will that sound similar to stock i want something that is next step from stock nothing to loud that will upset neighbours at 5am i have hsv headers with a 2.5 inch walkinshaw catback
Great video guys.. I just purchased a VCM21 for my manual VE SS Sportswagon. I wanted bigger but the wife still wants her shopping cart. Thanks for the uploads. ;-)
whats your fuel usage like?
bryne tuckey
I still haven't fitted it :-( .... You know, life gets busy and stuff :-/ I am totally fitting it in the new year though.
Did you end up fitting it?
How did it run?
@@tuckey223 People who are asking this question shouldnt upgrade camshaft you know its going to consume loads more fuel.
I'll take a dual pattern vs a single pattern cam any time. Single pattern cams aren't necessarily good for stock heads, due to casting irregularities, etc., and work best in ported/CNC'd heads that can support the flow characteristics of these higher performannce cams.
I need a cam for my stealth 03 suburban 5.3 stock but tuned, has intake muffler tat's it what cam do u recommend I like to play but also travel with family in it wat says you?
Did you put a cam in your suburban?
What cam do you recommend on my 04 gto I Wana install 243 heads
install ls3 heads and intake
Why would you want a performance cam and not upgrade your converter. A high stall converter is the best mod for auto ls1 fbodys. You can daily drive them no problem without sacrificing alot of gas mileage. It's not like old converters in like 60s muscle cars. Lockup around 40mph and it drives just like stock.
What would be a good cam for a 2003 5.3 daily driver .
532 daily. Sounds mad but great for everyday driving.
How ahbout the VCM 11 on a Auto with stock stall
No go. Need a 2,200rpm stall for a 112.5 LSA which a VCM 11 has
I always want to see the performance comparison to the stock cam. Having had chevrolet v8s for 50 years I know that the stock camshafts are many times just fine.
why is the VCM e5 written as the biggest, yet is the best idle. Is the vid written in backwards order or what.
are you familiar with american vehicles?.. if so what cam would you recommend for a daily driver 4.8 chevy tahoe(2006) with stock converter. thank you for your time
Erick Guerra I'd say something in the 218/220 range
Alex S. a forum on facebook recommended similar.. im looking into it now.
Alex S. thank you
Erick Guerra
There's anything better than a 4.8 with turbo
Erick Guerra I built a LM7 with ported 862 heads and LR4 flat top pistons 10.25:1 compression felpro head gaskets pt9292 .056 and the cam I chose was 216/220 .560 114lsa, My setup pull like a SOB especially on the freeway and I have a 4L60e with stock stall in my 99 trans am I also pass smog no problem.
can I fit one of those in the L99 in a Camaro 6,2l
Jose Martinez if its based on an ls yes
Jose Martinez if its a genIII or gen4 yes
God damn the Australian cars are beautiful .. We dont get those in Europe, we get the Pontiac GTO which is pretty cool but nothing compared to those beasts. By the way, those are stock exhaust right ?
mrackelito1 the car in this video is basically a newer rebadged Pontiac G8 GT
No, the Pontiac is a re-badged Holden Commodore. The front of the black car is the Pontiac front for the American market. The front of the Aussie cars look way better.
Nope they are not stock exhausts in fact the car shown i think has a super charger on it, it sure sounded like it did, a VE Model, but what about the VF Range of cars ie: the new Holden and the last model built ?
ShadowOfDeath24 and caprice
I would but I don’t have a smog guy.
Any best cam for daily driven ssv ve
all 3 of these.. the vcme50 is probably your best bet
Thanks pu4e1
So can you listen to a cam and have a rough idea on what kinda cam it has ?
No you cant
@@AndrewMitchell001 yeah I’ve learned a lot since then bit of a stupid question to ask lol I wish there was a way to figure out what kind of cam you have without having to rip it out or so you can decide on what kind of stall converter I would need
@@jamestehuna5915 what is it were talking about an ls with a stock convertor
What do you recommend for a stock 5.3 silverado?
Javier Alonzo
Check out TSP camshafts, I like the 220R camshaft for a 5.3 112 Lsa
Rey Perez do you happen to have the website bro? And thanks for replying.
Will my ls4 5.3 be suitable for that cam?
What brand are those cars???
+Daniel Rodriguez General Motors - Holden Commodore, Australian design and production. VE-VF series, in America as the Pontiac SS G8 I believe. The VT-VZ series he referenced is like the more rounded shape of the Pontiac GTO crica 2006 in America, great all-round cars especially with the LS motor.
+boingkster how much is the vcm21?
D Rod holden
California smog legal?
Shawn Holman fuck it
Are these people still in business?
I've just got the vcm10 camshaft package for my vx ss manual I ordered it through a different mechanic shop though I'm guessing they are still up and running
Shit yeah
Huh? Need a translater
There is a lot of lift with those cams for someone that does not want to upgrade their valvetrain. Yes they will work with standard converter and gears but the lift is too high for the standard valvetrain
+Dan Gray $30 for a spring compressor and $100-200 for a new set of valvesprings and you are good to go.
Dan Gray $79 for Chevy performance beehive valvesprings
but also a lot of engines don't need valvetrain upgrades, such as the ls2/ls6/ls6/lt4 as they come with those springs already
ShadowOfDeath24
please from personal experience don't use original spring for a camshaft unless their lift is .525 , don't make the same mistake I had in the past.
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 what about LS3 heads? G8's are LS2 bottom ends and LS3 top ends. Called a L76.
The camshafts are fitted... WTF?
Keep duration 216 or under on intake 220 or under on exhaust is a good start going above these numbers will require a 2500rpm stall converter and 3.73 or more gears even a cam with these duration numbers would do better with a 2500rpm or more stall converter something like summits Pro LS truck cam #8719 with 209 duration intake and 217 exhaust with .550 lift should give you good torque from 2000rpm to 6000rpm with a stock stall converter you'll need 3.73 gears
you can run up to a 226/232 with stock convertor and retain great manners go look at the independant motorsport dyno videos Champ.
@@AndrewMitchell001 my new GM performance LS3 495 horsepower crate engine has a fairly mild LS3 hot cam with 219 duration intake and 228 duration exhaust it's in my 2011 Camaro SS with a built 6L80e transmission with a 4200rpm Circle D lockup stall converter with stock 3.27 gears it has wicked throttle response has run 7.22 at 96mph in the eighth mile with 1.65 60 foot times running a camshaft with more duration without a stall converter will make for a sluggish car under 3000rpm compared to a stock camshaft you can install a large camshaft and it will work but it will be sluggish everyone has different idea's when it comes to camshafts l wouldn't recommend a camshaft any larger than a 204 duration intake and 218 duration exhaust on a LS powered 5.3 6.0 or 6.2 if planning on running a stock stall converter and even this mild camshaft would perform much better with a 2500-3000rpm lockup stall converter the difference in acceleration would be very noticeable cutting your 0-60 times by .6 of a second or more even a stock 5.3 6.0 or 6.2 LS engine would accelerate much better with a 2500rpm stall converter over a stock 1600rpm converter LS engines like higher stall converters than old style Chevy small blocks do l have a 2009 Tahoe PPV 2wd 5.3 it's stock with a cat-back exhaust system had the 4L60E transmission rebuilt and used a stock 2009 Trail Blazer torque converter because it's a 2000rpm stall compared to the stock 1600rpm stall converter and it has 3.73 gears stock just that 400rpm increase with the stock 3 73 gears probably knocks off .3 -.5 of a second 0-60 and a 2500rpm stall converter would accelerate even better knocking more time off your 0-120mph times
@@gloriamaletta8667 A 226/232 is a mild camshaft you Buckwheat its not big camshaft like I said go and watch the independant motorsports dyno videos with that shaft I dont care what you run in your shitheap American car this is Australia and is Australian manufactured cams
@@AndrewMitchell001 I'm not going to argue with you put this 226/232 camshaft in a car truck or SUV without at least a 3000rpm stall converter in a car truck or SUV that weighs 4000+ pounds and see how well it performs from idle to 2500rpm peak numbers on a dyno look impressive horsepower and torque throughout the entire RPM range is more important than peak numbers big peak numbers mean nothing to me times the car runs does put this 226/232 camshaft in a car with a stock 1600rpm stall converter it will be very sluggish from a dead stop and have no throttle response below 2500rpm it will not be eager to rev below 2500rpm
@@gloriamaletta8667 go watch the independant motorsport videos on youtube they use it all the time stock stalled and its fine if you dont want to see for yourself shut ya cake hole I dont care about your poor knowledge on cams.
226/232 112 LSA 600"
Performance street use. Very strong-mid range & high RPM Power.
Excellent camshaft for daily driven cars with no compromise
Suitable for LS1 L76 L77 L98 LS2 LS3
Works good with VE L76 L77 L98 LS3 Std Stall converter
RPM RANGE 2000-6800
I wonder is the cranky boys has something to say about these cam grinds ?
what the fuck did he say?
English please
Rick Houser it is in English mate
I didnt understand a word he said. these aussies need to learn to speak English because that jubberish he was yackin is a real language barrier.
I think most English speaking countries are fairly easy to understand apart from thick Scottish slang.
MasterWitchDoctor, You must be from Alabama, where they speak "real fine"
I think some yanks are difficult to understand.
Dont pick on the Aussies..
Its you that is the problem.. not the Aussies. 👍👍👍
