How to choose an LS camshaft for street performance ~ VCM

In this technical based video VCM Performance shows us a range of street performance style camshafts to suit GM LS based V8 engines. These are aimed at those car owners who wish to have all of the 'camshaft' characteristics but would still like to be able to use the car on a regular basis.

100% going to go for VCM11 when the time comes. Thanks guys!

[@flagpies23118]

Yeah I'm doing same sounds mint!

[@barronmclean9809]

Just got myself a VCM10 cam package for my 2002 vx ss manual along with the OTR extractors new cats and I've already got a 2.5" rihno exhaust catback get it all installed next week and put on the Dyno can't wait

[@southerntasclimbers7271]

Thanks very much for making life easier when it comes to choosing an engine upgrade !

AUS v8 cars are so much cooler than what we have in US.

[@tkx86]

What can I say mate....... Besides.... Fuck yeah!

[@davidd5169]

Actually you guys got a slightly superior version (Chevy SS) of our own car (Holden Commodore SS). What you didn't buy one?

[@jakob31448]

As much as I dislike when people say the commodores are just a Chevy. You guys do have The Chevy ss, the G8, and the GTO, which are all Australian v8’s that were sold in the US.

I have a vcm 11 cam in my ute and it's awesome. Sounds lumpy aswell

I'm running an LS3 with VCM 11 cam and Magnuson 2300 blower and it's perfect , 468 rwkw on 7psi using pump 98 fuel

[@ston3kill3r]

Still prefer to have a car that handles , were shit box fords can't . So I have best of both worlds power and handling , all out package

[@VanPelt01]

Auto or manual? Looking at stroking my LS1 to 383 and trying to work out a good cam whilst using stock stall converter.

[@AndrewMitchell001]

@@VanPelt01 Whats the point in paying all that money for a stroker and cheap skating on a bigger converter so you can put a decent size cam. A 3200 stall is only around a thousand bucks.

[@turatu2984]

im pretty happy with the vcm710 , lumpy asf goes hard😆

[@bullantoffroad]

For when the wife wants to drive it lol!!! What if it's the wife that wants the cam 😊

[@caylebgiangiulio5510]

Would be good if those cars had aftermarket exhaust to it so can hear cams better

[@c01by25]

I can’t wait to get my vcm10 put in

[@nicksaveka5078]

I didnt mind 2 and 3 but all of em sound good. Im getting a cam upgrade this week in SS 2001 VU ute. But i only have twin 2.5" exhausts - wonder how that will go

[@chopperking007]

How did it go ? 2.5 is fine I hear

[@maddog22002]

Not a mention of the Baby Cam's??... I would love to see a video like this on the VCM21 for example..

Got a ve ss what cam would suit I just want something with a little more grunt than standard nothing over the top

[@huntinglife5202]

Check out the cams oztrack stock shit all over vcm grinds. Oztrack hpa cam is a lumpy beast with standard stall. Have a look on youtube.

[@drummerguyhughes]

I have a VX gen 3 with dual fuel, is there any concerns with doing a cam with LPG/petrol

[@raymondo8752]

i wish i had a big stall, my gf left me because of my small stall

[@phizzle24]

R.I.P lol

[@SpeedDemonCBR]

What kind of power does the vcm12 put out

[@mrmysterious6006]

These grinds are a bit old now. Single pattern cams work best on extremely efficient head cylinders with a I/E ratio of 75% These are more suitable for LS1 and LS2 engines. Not the square port. The I/E ratio is 65% favouring the intake so you need 1.5 of split for each percentage point degrees favouring the exhaust. You will be surprised the difference it makes. LS1 and LS2 heads need only 4-6 degrees of split. I have ran single pattern, dual pattern, and big splits and the best by far was the big split especially in the top end. With minimal loss down low. In fact the crossover point is at about 3500 where the differences are felt.

[@bala_dann]

Mr Mysterious I have a series 1 VE with a 6L LS2. I was looking at camming mine. Any recommendations?

[@petecotter6790]

These cams are easy to tune and average dumb arse who buys them wants a low lsa so it sounds 'tough'. Cam i have being a 118 lsa blows them away!

[@mrmysterious6006]

[@AndrewMitchell001]

@@petecotter6790 No use paying V8 rego and high fuel prices for 98ulp and not having a nice lumpy V8 noise rumbling out might as well keep the stocker in.

1:25. I hear what sounds like the dreaded lifter squeak!

[@kymwheare2462]

What exhausts are these running pls ??!

[@twhite5978]

How much HP out of these camshafts?

[@bazzlawrenson9424]

Stuff the good manners lol... what grind do I want for making a manual into a nice and lumpy idling pig with little regard for fuel consumption. Pretty well opposite to what's recommended for most of your average customers haha

[@TradieTrev]

Manners?

[@fullboost]

In short what he means by manners = it's not a pig to drive like a big cammed car can be.

[@silverssonyoutube8438]

are they all running stock exhausts ? they all sound like shit , they dont sound aggressive enough nor lumpy enough , whole point for me in getting a cam is to get that massive lumpy sound and to be driven aggressive daily on the street .

[@imacrazy6872]

STREET PERFORMANCE is clearly stated in the title, VCM offers the bigger cams that not among the street performance lineup.

[@vinijubi]

Music?

[@RishiRaj-jh4pu]

Bula, I have a VE Series 1 V6 - 2007 with Alloytec engine 195kw. Can I know if VCM 11 cams be installed in this engine or any suggestions on this. I have a cold air take and a xforce full exhaust system. Please if you could guide on this and I need it for everyday drive not to extreme mode. thanks

What does the rev range mean?

[@Jimboishere11]

Seriously? Google mate.

[@cameronallan3771]

It mean where in the rev range the car makes it peck power and continue up from there so say the cam makes peck power. At 3000 then the cam is making it's full power from 3g and up hope that makes sense

[@SSCommodore98]

What are the wheels called on the first car, shown in the video (Green) VCM2? Also what are the dimensions of the wheels, if possible? Thanks :)
