Do a search, and if you are serious about camming the ute - call a tuner or engine builder and discuss your needs

Good luck

hi a cam sounds like a good idea i would go a torque master from gm motorsport its not to big but still has the lobey idle and will make somewhere upo to 320rwkw with some good pipes on it through a manual. i have a workshop in tullamarine and have done a couple now and have been impressed with the results.

something in the high 220's will be fine for a daily driver

Our 220 cam packaged are almost perfect in the VE engines. Power gains from 1000rpm to 7000rpm. Lump, economy as well.

However i can tailor a cam to suit your exact goals for the car.

"The later", as in the second cam option he fitted.
As a new member, have you done a good search on this subject? VE cam threads have been getting closed down lately, as there is plenty of info on here.
