🔥 LEO VZ Cammed & Tuned — A New Life for the Aussie V6! 🔥

There’s nothing quite like seeing a Holden come back to life on the dyno — and this LEO VZ build is the perfect example of how the right combination of performance parts and expert tuning can completely transform a car’s character.

This particular VZ came into the Revhigh workshop already sporting some solid bolt-ons:

  • ✅ Full exhaust system

  • ✅ Cold air intake


Even with those mods, the power figures were still limited by the stock camshaft setup and aging components. On the dyno, the VZ made 140.4kW and 295.9Nm — decent, but nowhere near what this engine was capable of.

🧰 The Upgrade Package

To unlock its true potential, we fitted a fresh lineup of upgrades designed to boost both performance and reliability:

  • 🔧 New GM Timing Chain Kit

  • 🔧 211/211 @50” Camshafts

  • 🔧 New O2 Sensors & Spark Plugs

  • 🔧 5mm Intake Spacer

  • 🔧 Purge Solenoid

  • 💻 Full ECU and TCU Tune on the Dyno


This wasn’t just a power mod — it was a complete refresh aimed at bringing this V6 back to its best.

⚡ Dyno Results — From Restrained to Rowdy

After the upgrades and custom tune, the LEO VZ delivered 182.7kW and 328.7Nm at the wheels. That’s a huge jump from its previous 140.4kW / 295.9Nm baseline — an increase of over 40kW and 30Nm!

On the road, the difference is night and day. The throttle response is sharper, the midrange torque is stronger, and that cammed idle brings a mean, head-turning lope that every Holden fan loves.
