You have any videos of the the cams on the camaro that's r&d? Idle video I mean

LIM3 · 03-27-2012, 06:12 PM

would a trifecta tune improve it or lower the performance at all ?

hapisok · 03-27-2012, 06:30 PM

Are you still using trifecta to tune these cams or did you find another alternative? If using trifecta, what is the expected cost for those of us who already have a tune frome Vince? Thanks Steve and keep up the great work.

We do have idle vids but they're admittedly not flattering as the long thin walled tubular headers and high pressure pump (no engine cover) make a distinct ticking sound. The same sound 100% occurred before the cams were installed

They should be relatively be compatible fortunately

Ok update time

It seems that we've been getting a fair amount of false knock when cam phasing kicks in.

We're currently testing disabling cam phasing on each bank (inlet/ex cams) to see where this gets us.

So we're making some progress

What does advancing the timing do that causes "false knock"? Seems like it would cause real knock, if anything.

I don't think it is, as it's happening as soon as they come on, so it could be some chain noise who knows at the moment. We'll find out one way or another though

You want an update you say

Ok, from what we've been trialing "knock" is *definitely* happening with intake cam phasing. There was virtually no KR reported on the exhaust cam phasing only, but on the intake cam phasing, the knock sensors go crazy.

This is false knock from the valve train it seems. Got a couple of things to try up our sleeves though
