When it comes to waking up a V8, few upgrades transform the driving experience like a camshaft package paired with proper ECU and TCU tuning. Recently, Jamie rolled his Holden VE V8 into our workshop chasing more power, more response, and that unmistakable lumpy cam idle every enthusiast craves.

We fitted his car with our Street Dominator Camshaft Package, and the results speak for themselves:

What’s Inside the Package?

This build wasn’t just about bolting in a cam – it’s a full performance upgrade designed for durability and drivability. Here’s what went in:

225/236 TSP Camshaft – delivering that iconic cammed sound and aggressive powerband
VCM OTR (Over-The-Radiator Intake) – improving airflow for maximum efficiency
Exhaust realignment and custom fab work – freeing up restrictions for better flow
Headers and Catback system – boosting performance and deepening the tone
Dual valve springs with titanium retainers – ensuring reliability at higher RPMs
Blackwell refurbished heads – refreshed for longevity and optimal performance
ECU & TCU tune – balancing power delivery on both street and strip

Dyno Results: From Respectable to Relentless

Before the upgrade, Jamie’s VE V8 was already making a solid 270rwkw. But after the Street Dominator package and a precise dyno tune, the car now pushes out a massive 320rwkw – that’s a gain of +50rwkw!

Not only does it pull harder across the rev range, but the throttle response is sharper, and gear shifts feel seamless with the transmission tune.

✅ Final Numbers:

Before: 270rwkw
After: 320rwkw (+50rwkw gain!)
