Ran a 13 cam daily to and from work with 3500 stall 3.7s. Nothing better then a grumpy cam at the lights.

What he says about the VCM 7 is correct, im daily driving mine at the moment in a vy ss manual with stock diff gears. Try eating a sausage roll or pie and drive the thing to work in traffic jerky as.

[@SR-uy7cx]

change diff gears

[@john_p]

that just adds to the fun. big cams are the greatest

I daily drive my VF R8 with a VCM6... i LOVE it... most ppl at lights love it too... haha

[@aussiefirie]

Love the sound of the VCM24. Reckon it would go nicely in my S1 VF SS-V ute

[@justinnguyen9978]

i had vcm 7 as a daily for allmost 2 years. i never had any issues with drivability. drove great

[@reihoro3457]

Justin Nguyen was yours an auto bro? If so what did you have done to the gearbox?

[@matt-gz4qd]

I also have this cam for 2years 3.46 diff manual and its fine.Not hard to drive unless your on peek hour traffic just hates doing 45kph

[@justinnguyen9978]

Mine was manual. Stop start traffic got a bit tiresome on the clutch foot.

Is it manual? Daily driver? Looking for a cam for mine currently

[@harvsblade]

Loved the vcm13 in my ve s2 ssv. New toy means new cam, can't wait for the new video of charger cams.. Great work VCM..

[@crazydog2580]

awesome sounds from all of them

[@kyle-de-man]

my local shop recommend the vcm 7 for me for tough street car use lol

[@roadworkahead6368]

Biggest is .612. Basically Elgin’s cam. Ran that cam and it was great. The BTR stage 4 is larger

[@JonnyAbs-0]

How many degrees advanced are these? Looks like they like the 112 lsa, but ICL is important to know too.

[@The_forgotton_one]

there all baby cams, I looking for a big cam to go into a 427 LS with a big 98mm Turbo no one make a decent cam for big cui LS biggest I've found is a crow cams 1253--245/262 .614/.614 114 and a 1291--245/261 .621/.616 114 lastly 1024--242/262 .610/.616 116

[@marineyacht]

I like the last one,

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

I would like to talk to you about a 228/232 in a L98 AUTO. What stall converter would you suggest I run its has a 6L80 transmission so stardand diff gears.

[@nicksaveka5078]

How will twin 2.5” exhaust sound? I’m getting cam upgrade done now on my SS vu 2001 Holden ute

[@VanPelt01]

These are the biggest offerings by vcm... so to speak.

[@Pittaz]

rpm range, means it’s a pig to drive below that limit?

[@44josh]

vcm710?

[@mrmysterious6006]

The biggest cam is well suited to a stroker engine. The valve events are good although I would put the LSA on a 113. On mine ls2 408 I'm going for a 238/256 113lsa cam. Will drive good as a daily because of the cubes

[@Kingtoneable]

None of these cams suit a stroker because there way to small they also sound like a popcorn machine and that’s not how a cam should sound I guess it’s ok for someone that doesn’t know any better

[@crazysvt03]

Plenty of people daily big cams here in the US. Ms3 ms4 gx6 I don't understand why they are saying such high stalls mods required.

[@xjmg007]

ran a cam very simular to the MS3(lil bigger) for 2 years daily in a C5Z. Got close to 30mpg before getting 3.90s then 26mpg hwy. it's all about that tune.

[@boingkster]

+crazysvt03 A lot of people do here in Australia as well, but if you're a gearhead then you're fine with it. Hand it to the wife/girlfriend while her Toyota Corolla is in the shop... she's probably going to hate it. If she doesn't... she's a keeper!

[@kylecarson8856]

I have a 223 227 110 610 614 in my Manuel 04 ls1 gto and the stage 3 clutch makes it hard to drive in high traffic the cam didn't make it more difficult to drive

Just a quick question before I watch the video, would you recommend these cams for a daily driver? thanks

[@htcooley04]

VCM vs comp which is better? ??

[@SR-uy7cx]

comp all day and night

[@htcooley04]

+Rion Saiti ya I'm sure I'll never get my LS1 cammed because i need a stall converter shit costs money haha

[@SR-uy7cx]

+Hale Cooley mate no difference then needing a performance clutch to suit higher hp.. stock gm clutch is weak link

very cool!

[@Jerry_gold]

What makes them tricky to drive?

[@vongdong10]

Feels like it's about to stall at low rpm and it lurches.

[@SR-uy7cx]

not a issue if you get a good tune

[@mrmysterious6006]

Depends on the overlap. The more you have the more likely it is to surge. A good tune has its limit too as to how much it can smooth out. The sweet spot for a 408 for a daily is 12 degrees positive overlap. For a 6 litre it would be about 6-8 degrees. Any more and you begin to compromise the driveability of the vehicle.

[@turbosrshit336]

The tricky part is not getting impounded, you'll be hanging sideways every fuckin corner

[@matt-gz4qd]

Bald tires!! And speed limits:)

[@z0ke]

Vcm3 for me on a daily thanks

[@scottmeoutofhere]

z0ke how does it drive

[@scottmeoutofhere]

I’m thinking about getting it for my daily

[@z0ke]

@@scottmeoutofhere i never got it. I decidee to go with a comp cam

[@derekrobinson5282]

Gotta be shitting me. If your tune sucks, then all of these cams will be rough to drive in traffic. Also if you're inexperienced at driving a manual in traffic, then you shouldn't be putting a Cam in your car at all if you drive in bad traffic daily, unless its just a drag car and not a daily. i have a 235/240, .629" 615" 111LSA and tuned of course along with Kooks 1 3/4 headers in my 05 GTO. Its my daily. Its a 6 speed manual, and i have taken the car to NYC before, for a week and a half. I got 6mpg which is your real city traffic right there. I had no issues driving my car, because 1 was the tune of course, and two I'm very experienced at driving manuals and understand my power curve. Ive been all through out this country as a former tractor trailer driver. You wanna talk about a vehicle being tricky to drive in stop and go traffic. Drive a fully loaded 48,000lbs of glass in a tractor trailer up hill. You'll be able to drive any cammed manual vehicle after that. lol in regards to the these high stalls this guy is recommending. Bullshit. Ive seen big cams like these in LS cars that didn't require such huge stalls.....lmaoo.....This guy doesnt even recommend the stickiest of sticky tire to complement these stalls......Have a dumbass spinning themselves into a ditch somewhere

[@matthewallwood1017]

ah finally, a yank that knows everything. figured it wouldn't take long

[@AndrewMitchell001]

He said best size stall for best results not that they needed them obviously your ears dont hear well because your a know all.

[@Kingtoneable]

These cams make the car sound like shit brap brap brap shit a proper cam makes the car sounds like brap ............brap............brap how it should should sound only trust crow cams they know what there doing at a reasonable cost don’t be ripped off by these no name gronks!

[@zachschmittauer7044]

All of these cars just dumping out fuel out the exhaust

[@Sunny-wq7pk]

It's just water from condensation inside the exhaust system it's what happens when hot meets cold kind of like what makes it rain if you paid attention at school

Sunny no it’s fuel dip shit
