Cammed VY SS Commodore 228/230 comp cam

[xr8rick]

Is your car an auto or manual? Would I need a high stall if I put that cam in my VY auto?  Sounds awesome mate, nice car.

[MrNBowden]

@Darkrayne29 Mate, love the ride.. just wondering do you reckon if I got Di Filippo headers and cats instead of the Pacemakers you have will it still sound like and as loud as yours?

[bennymoulden]

What sort of economy do u get around town? I use my VU ss daily for work (towing a mowing trailer) and I'm thinking about a cam like this.

Need to be a little concious of economy though :)

Sounds mint!

[ONDGHIA]

Noway a stock xr6t would beat a cammed ls1, my tuned ls1 rapes stock ba/bf xr6t's, fg's we dead even ;)

[thekrazed]

@ONDGHIA stock xr6t is only 270hp. FG F6 is 310. Tune them, the xr6t will look more like 360-380 and the F6 will easily see past 400. They are a great machine. Though I love the sound of cammed V8's.

[RVH253]

Lol stock xr6t won't beat a cammed ls1 maybe is the POS xr6 had a tune and exhaust

[m1chael1o1]

how does it feel getting raped by a stock xr6t even tho you wasted all your money on this boat looking POS , and you also use more fuel

[oOoBRYCEoOo]

One of the best sounding Commodores on Youtube i reckon. Along with a red VY/VZ idk.. this is just so mean.

[ultemcia]

sounds amazing

[M013VY]

mate that sounds beautiful!! im about to cam my VY SS too, i hope it turns out the same :)

[SubbieXero]

I love how everyone is trash talking this car now that my father owns it. Love how they're saying that an "XR6 Turbo(lol)" can beat it. I've seen my own eyes, that it can't.

[silent36]

if u dont mind me asking how much was it for a cam package

[Darkrayne29]

@silent36 around $3k back then



[andruraver]

fuk yeah sounds tough as

[cabnetsmasher]

where did you get the cam done?

[Darkrayne29]

@cabnetsmasher Pro Auto Performance in canningvale Perth.

[SmokenRubber]

G'day mate. That sounds really good. My knowledge on cams is very limited, what does the 228/230 reffer to?

[The98corolla]

@SmokenRubber duration

[MrCohibaboy]

sounds pretty mean , i want this done to mine but the cost of it all is too much

[conanricho]

How many Litter's do you get to the 100km with that cam...?

[Darkrayne29]

@conanricho was down in the 8L per 100kms on longer drives!

[tunastrike11]

@Darkrayne29 some how i find that hard to believe i have a 2.5 turbo diesal that doesnt get 12ks to a liter on a highway i also have a worked ls1 and no chance of that with a cam at low rev,s fuel is unburnet and going out the exuast.

[soul111smasher]

@Darkrayne29 Any idea what the L/100km was around town?

[SupaRuntime]

sounds good mate, not an easy thing for me to say given i own a skyline and prefer ford over holden....

[Darkrayne29]

@SupaRuntime Appreciate the kind words :), respect ;).

[SubbieXero]

Hey Dark, added my video to your video responses. My dad bought your car haha.

[stockasy]

291rwkw? is that with standard heads?

[Darkrayne29]

@stockasy Yes!

[riconagel]

how much did it all cost??

[bww1972]

Sounds great.

[Mickfromaustralia]

Nice !

[DFRDRIFTPIG]

hey mate, funny thing i came across this vid. im picking up a VY II SS ute in a few days and it has the same spec's as your's. is your cam classed as a mild cam?? also does it sound like that at idle all the time or only when its cold. BTW i love the sound of yours, i hope mine turns out like this when i go to pick her up.

[DFRDRIFTPIG]

5 star!!! sounds awsome

[gshdrums]

Where did you get this done?

[damienj1]

nice

[rodders188]

Hi in your opinion is there much difference between the sound of twin 3'' diffillipo and 2.5 I am ordering a 2.5'' t replace xforce 3'' and car makes 280 rwkw LS3 Crate install VT HSV. Looking at a cam but personally DF 3'' Expensive so a 2.5'' M/S should work.......do u think

cheers

[Darkrayne29]

I think the twin 3" will be a bit too loud.. id go the twin 2.5 inch :)

[Darkrayne29]

The chev gear works better with the cars lines imo that and they run a chev motor!

[natable1]

my brother sounded like this before he got it tuned nice car put u back in ur seat i cn tell u that.

[Darkrayne29]

They sure do! :)

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

This is an Australian car right?

Looks pretty good from the back, it would be nice to get some different cars here in the states once in a while

[Darkrayne29]

Sure is. Holden VY SS Commodore - though runs the LS1 Chev 5.7 V8

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

Shit are you serious that little ride has got a V8 under the hood, damn you must got money because I heard gas prices are crazy in Australia. That is also a massive V8 too, that's the size of most large pick up truck engines.

[Uber2DaMax]

Aussie pride boyz

[gshdrums]

what actual mufflers are on it...and is it a 2 or 3 inch?

[Darkrayne29]

its a twin 2.5" Di fillipo cat back with pacemaker 3" stainless hi flow cats and pacemaker 4-1, 1 3/4 headers.

[gshdrums]

Have you only got 2 mufflers?

[gshdrums]

what the RPM range on this cam

[Darkrayne29]

about 2800rpm to 6500rpm well thats where the limiter is set ;)

[helloman1976]

Sounds awesome

[Darkrayne29]

ty :)

[dillberry86]

aussie pride right here

[bjdoher]

Nice one, sounds sweet, would you mind sharing your lobe seperation angle? havn't herd many cams as ruff as this on a street car, cheers

[Darkrayne29]

its a comp cams 228/230 @ 112 LSA

[outdoorsmike]

my ls1 is runnin at like 13.7 ltrs per 100km. whats yours like with that cam.? love the sound.

[Darkrayne29]

similar around town but into the 7L per 100 on long trips!

[deetwizzy]

hows she handle street use? im thinking of gett this cam in my 6speed

[Darkrayne29]

Pretty good.. love the @ss end shake at idle sitting at the lights! :)

[rodders188]

Hi mate,

What is the sound compared to a Diffilipo and a Manta 3''? Which is deeper and tougher sounding? Thanks

[Darkrayne29]

I'd say manta is louder.. di fillipo gives a a more thud of a note deeper..

[ChocHonk]

nice... i want my maloo to sound like that

[shabhagler]

how much did the whole set up cost you?

[AustralianRoad]

Sweet runnin car excellant spend great sound purrrrrrring.

[kidnamedcal]

Does this have the rear resonator??

also, what LSA and lobes are you running?

are they the XER lobes?

[kidnamedcal]

Hey mate. what idle speed is this??

[Darkrayne29]

i think it was around 750 - 800rpm

[kidnamedcal]

was this with a rear resi??

[andyaus1]

Sounds nice, i'm looking at getting an ss myself

[gshdrums]

is the exhaust system a bolt on or custom?

[Darkrayne29]

Bolt on

[Darkrayne29]

Yes not all were created equal! this one was mighty fine

[gshdrums]

What the drivability like with it this lumpy???

[Darkrayne29]

pretty good actually

[Darkrayne29]

Correct

[whanco9]

iv seen this vy in mandurah

SOO fucking nice!

[ozzez8282]

Nice one there mate. Pro Auto did a good job by the sounds of it. Did you go straight for the cam package or did you do what most people do and get cai/tune/exhaust first?

Did Pro Auto do the work on your new car as well?

[Darkrayne29]

thanks! i had a higgins otr cat back and mafless tune first.. made 321rwhp.. then did headers.. hi flow cats and cam package later.. near on 400rwhp now..

[adamsmith85]

yeh v8's are shit specialy Aus made V8's nothing but fucking problems

[Darkrayne29]

Well the vy ss and now my ve ssv run chev built LS1 and L98.. heaps of power with a tune and intake/exhaust.. though my ssv still has its stock exhaust!

[Run41t]

Idiot ricers, There is no replacement for displacement. The fastest cars in the world are ALL V8's. Type TOP FUEL into the search bar champ

Darkrayne, Sounds mint mate, Im doing a 228/230 cam install on my VYSS also

[scoobeydoooo]

Nice one man. I'm not the biggest V8 fan out there but your VY SS sounds beautiful. Tough as hell. Keep it up.

[Darkrayne29]

This one runs in the 11 sec qtr mile bracket.. hardly shit...

[adamsmith85]

cmon man get a real car... fuck holden and any car made in Aus... nothing but problems.

[Darkrayne29]

That can be said about any make mate.. depends on who builds it.. if you can drive and how shes looked after... variables galore.. find something your happy with and go with it...

I sold this vy ss a year and a half ago now.. currently in a 450+rwhp VE SSV - Procharged 6L goodness.. feel sorry for the turbo'd up R33 who tried to give her a go from the lights the other night haha. I'll leave it there.. ;)

[jonnols1bandit]

im goin 238/240 it goin to be nuts lo but ur ride sound mint man

[rustydeathpipe]

dude that sounds fuckin sic

[cammo1986]

sounds tuff as fuck....

[shazza9275]

grunt

[gshdrums]

i think ive asked before but how much all up did the cam cost if you dont mind me asking?

[br1ggzy]

FUKIN INSANE!

[shauno2008]

275RWKW is about 370 Flywheel KW

[Darkrayne29]

I found it great to drive around.. though could never get used to the z grip textralia clutch in it.. either on or off clutch with bugger all slip lol bit damn hard though!

[owh57]

Hey mate, just wondering did you have to get heads aswell as i was told i have to get higher compression and stally for that cam to perform on my ls1 auto?

[adamaussie18]

after u installed the cam did u need to get it tuned?? sorry newby question

[Darkrayne29]

yes i did.. had a mafless tune and a higgins over the radiator cold air intake

[mattyoz0]

Wheels

[Darkrayne29]

id go a twin 3 inch manta cat back system with pacemaker 1 3/4 4-1 headers and 3' hi flow pacemaker cats.. and a nice cam :)

[dperk16]

sounds nice how did this cam size affect your fuel economy? and was it still street drivable?

[Darkrayne29]

fuel economy was still great.. longer trips with full car people and luggage and full tank. and air con on i averaged 11.5L per 100k's.. of course she'll drink more if you've got a heavy right foot lol

[05Atomik]

That sounds amazing!!

[gshdrums]

if you dont mind me asking how much was the cam to get installed?

[Darkrayne29]

$3200 inc 25% under drive pulley all gaskets oil, air con regas, mafless tune, valve springs etc

[gshdrums]

far out i got quoted 4g :(

[11metcash]

Sounds awesome!!

Just curious, something like this what is cost looking at? I recently bought a VYSS and am looking to make some mods, also what is the estimated HP along with Quarter times???

Thanks and again nice car bud...

[kidnamedcal]

Very nice ride, have the same only in black.

Looking at getting a cam installed shortly. Exactly what exhaust was this running in this vid coz it sounds incredible.

[bigrich1307]

i will post it on here at some stage, so you can have a look and listen

[bigrich1307]

5.7 in the vy,Yours sounds sweet mate. i have the same car with bigger cam and springs, big stainless exhaust and headers, race intake , tough auto and 3.7 gearing. its a good street combo,

[percophidae]

Race intake?

Car sounds sweet man, i just went with this cam, keen to see how it goes down the 1/4 over the 222/224

[mkolk1utube]

sounds sick mate. nice work

[Darkrayne29]

thanks! new owners have her running 416rwhp now :)

[ozzez8282]

sweet ride mate!

[merttetik]

is that a 6.0ltr or 5.7??

[Darkrayne29]

5.7 LS1 gen III with 125,000ks on the clock

[freedomsoldier187]

do these things have to be rebuilt every 30 or so thousand k's when you put a performance cam in them ?

[Darkrayne29]

not they dont have to be rebuilt the LS1 motors are good for a long time :).. cam upgrade with valave springs and timing chain is all that was needed here..

[lloydybanks]

is this your daily? thinking about getting a cam just know shit all about em. im guessing this is a pretty big cam? hows the fuel ecom? or should i say lack of lol

[Darkrayne29]

Yeah i use the vy to run about in although not alot of distance.. the cam is great being the 228/230 @ 112 LSA .571 lift, .573 exhaust comp cam.... on longer trips ive seen the Litres per 100's ks drop into the 9's! so depending on your right foot to as how much fuel you'd use :)

[tuffvyss]

hey mate do u think the undriven pulley is worth getting done?..is the powersteering heavier with this?

[Darkrayne29]

yes while getting the cam done i had mine put in.. i rekcon the car revs freer with it on and no doesnt make the steering heavier.. also looks mint too :)

[hoffmachine]

Sounds nice. Notice your in W.A. Who installed the cam?

[Darkrayne29]

Pro Auto Performance...

[shauno2008]

hey mate,that sounds sweet..i got a vz clubby and wanna put a cam in it..how much u pay all up?check out my vid..ill have more up soon:)cheers

[princy3010]

[cholodesanfe87]

LUV THE CHVY SOUND notice that most guys who put american muscle on there import cars is a chevy motor i wonder why?

[princy3010]

[Darkrayne29]

my 228/230 is .571 - .573 lift @ 112 LSA

[Darkrayne29]

they're 1 3/4" Pacies.. id only go bigger if i was thnking about heads/turbo or charger...

[NimrodAUS]

You could get a sweet cam or just take off a spark plug lead to get the same noise. lol. Tuff mate.

[Darkrayne29]

New owners will be at the Perth motorplex tonight giving her a run.. only there second time out..

[Darkrayne29]

I didnt get to run her down the qtr mile since the cam package and full exhuast.. as shes gone to a new home now.. but yes with the RWHP she has should be in the mid 11's

[tkdboy04]

FUCKEN SEXY MATE

[rogalstm]

[whstato]

[Darkrayne29]

The exhaust is as follows.. Pacemaker 4-1 - 1 3/4 extractors, pacemaker 3 inch Hi flow stainless cats and the Di Filippo twin 2n half inch cat back :).. could imagine shed be a fair bit louder with no rear resonator on her though lol, not that it isnt loud enough already! haha

[Cosmogen3SS]

Very nice mate, you must be running a 3.9 diff to pull that rpm in fifth @ 110 km/h.

[Darkrayne29]

Nope still running the 3.46:1 ratio LSD :)

[HITER55]

can u tame the beast

[Darkrayne29]

driveability is great.. do some local drop off and picking up of kids mainly so not alot of kays.. though ran out country and back like 1200k's avergaed 12L per 100km's with 4 adults full boot/fuel and aircon on :).. cruisin in 5th gear at 2500rpm at around 110kph

[Darkrayne29]

whats wrong?

[Darkrayne29]

had got alot of other things done around the car.. eg lowered lovell superlow springs.. she does have a heavy duty Z grip textralia Clutch in her.. sintered Ceramic button race clutch!.. also harrop diff cover and higgins over the radiator cold air intake with K&N filter.. stock TB runs fine with this combo! also has upgraded slotted rotors front n rear with ferrodo pads.. pbr 2 spots up front and one on the rear.. painted brembo red..

[sbbubblegum]

very nice

[drracing108]

is evrything else standard beside the what u have listed here? ie. clutch and throttle body?

[dwaynE2099]

very nice mate!!!

thats awesome... i want a cam for mine!!!

[banarcus]

I love my Fords but your SS is the best sounding LS1 I've heard, what a beast and great hp too!

[Darkrayne29]

cheers dude.. i do love cruising around in it :).. unfortunately shes up for sale atm.. want to get rid of a few other debts we have...

looking for $29,990..

[Darkrayne29]

[Darkrayne29]

Pro Auto Performance on Vinnicombe drive in Canningvale Perth W.A.

92561499

[loudandprouddj]

Sounds Tuff as i want a cam !!!

[Darkrayne29]

Yeah pretty darn good :) I'm glad I didnt go any bigger :) the push in a seat happens from go to the limiter @6500rpm :D and cruising is effortless :) chews up more fuel around town but longer runs uses bugger all. Sounds mint ;) and love how she wiggles her @ss end sitting at the lights :D

Cold startup she is lumpy as!!

[GTSR427]

whats the drive ability like wif this cam dark??

[Darkrayne29]

Watch the exhaust tips from about 34 seconds onwards.. they move a sht load lol and when the cars off they are firmly held in place..

[VTL67]

lol thanks for the tip. Fuckin lumpy as!!!

[Darkrayne29]

Turn up your bass for full effect :) or get some decent bassy headphones :)
