Racing Cam

[Robbomaz]

There are a few threads floating around here about an Australian company that makes pistons, cranks and I believe cams for the 3.5. I don't think it is high performance per say but stronger for bigger hoursepower applications (blowers, turbos, etc).

Ivan Tighe made some for Holden a few years ago but I have called them several times (on the keep asking till you get the answer you want principle) and they do not list them, sell them or have any information on them.
Pity, as they were commissioned by an actual car company race division I would think that they would have been a very effective profile with good drivability as well.....possibly all the info had to be returned to Holden...no profile info means no replicas

HPHeaven was the one I was thinking of. As far as the IT stuff I would assume the race car company probably had a clause with them that the parts were for their eyes/use only to prevent the competition from getting "their" advantage.

Cris...I would dare to guess that the majority of super charged VX owners are on this site. That said I have yet to hear of any tranny failures that had to do with the extra ponies.

FWIW...be advised that the VX 3.5L (6VE1) is a quad cam. Do some research by finding any of the timing belt "how to's"...

In the "how to" section...

HSV built some 3.5 engined cars for the Round Australia which had the IT cams and (hearsay has it) 280hp.
A lot of mods go into those 'showroom' racers though
The latest one the Holden Colorados (Soozoo Dmax rebadged) had IRS grafted in...and LS1...and Holinger
