Updated: Apr 27

Matthew’s beautifully presented Calais has undergone a full transformation — stepping up from a standard V6 to a proper V8 powerhouse, now equipped with the highly regarded VCM532 camshaft and a suite of supporting mods.

🔧 The Build Includes:

VCM532 Camshaft
Pod Filter Intake
HSV Headers
Custom ECU & TCU Tuning

The result? A refined and aggressive street tune with serious bite.

📈 Final Dyno Results:

Max Torque: 533.1 Nm @ 152 km/h
Max Power: 295.5 kW @ 176 km/h

This setup delivers an epic combination of torque through the midrange and impressive top-end pull — making for a Calais that not only looks premium but drives like a proper muscle machine.

Another strong result for the VCM cam family, and a perfect example of how to build a streetable, head-turning Holden with real power behind it.
