Put the big fat Calais into Enhanced Automotive today to finally get the VCM21 cam and dod delete installed. Have had all the parts in the shed since xmas, but travel for work kept getting in the way. Brad has also recommended getting the heads skimmed while they are off. Car made 248.5 on his Mainline with all the bolt ons, so hoping for 270-280. Car is A6.
Also getting some decent Brembo brakes fitted, so should be massive improvement all round hopefully :)
nice work dude.
Is your calais a VE / L98?
VE with L76 mate :)
Ended up making 293.8, and drives real nice. Bit of lump to the idle but nothing over the top, just what I wanted :)
Great result, I just got 290 on that dyno with a M6 years back
Whats all the specs.
Cam specs are 217 / 225 .600" .578" 113 lsa, heads were decked, only other mods are VCM otr and full 3inch exhaust from ET.Quote:

That's a very decent increase & great torque too, A6 using the stock stall?Quote:

I still have the old PCV in place with the pipe going from passenger rocker cover to the front of the drivers side intake manifold. The port on the new valley plate is capped. Now looking at the GM Motorsport website, it would seem that they sell a small pipe to connect the valley plate to the intake manifold and a cap for the rocker cover. Do I need to covert this? Reason I ask, is that with the old PCV piping in place the motor has been blowing large amounts of smoke out the exhaust, when I remove the pipe the smoke stops and everything is normal again.
