Same old story what cam

[VXR HEED]

Hi folk, I am need some advice about what can to go for. I have a monaro vxr 6.0 with a 112 harrop charger non intercooler and full wortex exhaust including headers. I'm lead to believe is it has a 5psi pulley I was hopeing to up that a little and add a water/meth for cooling. I have spoke to monkfish about there cams but was to see what you guys thought.
I'm really wanting to get the most out of the charger I have but I love the sound of a lumpy engine. Your thought would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Gary who owns aftershocks old car might be able to help, because he has a cammed VXR500 with water/meth

Gary H has a Brian Tooley Racing stage 2 blower cam and water/meth in his 122 supercharged VXR8 with good results

A few guys have the monkfish cam

If you want to keep a standard rev limit then i personally dont think you need a big cam

I'm not to fussed about Rev limit I just want to the most power and fun I can get out of what I've got

Monkfish cam or Walki cam if you want a tried and tested route and are not fussed about knowing the details. If your interested in the specs then Gary's BTR cam is looking the best so far, it's what I will be dropping into my LS3 next year.

You may have to upgrade your fuel pump

[gsd2000]

With 6 psi if boost and a 112 blower the fuel pump should be fine

Agreed, I had the same engine running a H122 @ 9psi with water/meth injection and the pump worked fine @ 480RWHP

That will save some money then

But you would have been right on the limit

I will get the cam sorted and get it on the rollers and see what's what.
What sort of power should I get out of it with all this done. Just so I know what to expect.

Depends who you use most of us use surrey rolling road.But then numbers are only numbers pub talk its how the car drives on the road.You should see a nice result and not beeing intercooled a cam will help your iat.

May be the btr 3 would be better for your ls3.

Nice to see some proper back to back testing like that

Have graphed out the Power curves for the CAMS in the linked article, makes some good viewing:
