camshaft for v6 camaro - Page 10 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I was thinking. The VVT on these motors allow us to add overlap, thus creating the GC. It may also allow the overlap to be reduced with the MACE cams on this thread. Why would it not be possible to use the VVT to add overlap on the factory cams, thus generating more hp? Sort of like the GC, only it stays on, even during acceleration.

Or am I REALLY missing something.

Whoever said that this has not been done

where do you think the extra 13hp come from LOL.

overlap does not create power. Overlap simply mean the time when the intake valve and exhaust valve is briefly open during a stroke. Increasing overlap on idle causes the idle to become unstable creating the cam effect. Decreasing overlap does the complete opposite which is usually how factory set the vehicle on idle.

However, we can control when the intake and exhaust valve open and close( reatard and advance) via phasing, but only to a limit. The beauty of having a program such as EFI or hp tuners which by the way currently support 2012 v6 camaro is that you can do all of this yourself, but if you do have an idea that you would like to try you can always talk to Vince about it and he should not have a problem writing you a tune as long as you are not trying to get pigs to fly lol.

I am so excited for this. If i would have known this was in the works I would have held off on the 4 gauge pack, body kit, quad tips, and window tint... by far the most excited I have been for a mod

It will be fine if you go down the FI path with these cams. In regards to finance, we're not geared up for it at the moment sadly :(
