Performance Camshafts Holden Statesman Ecotec 3.8L V6 VS VU VT VX VY L36 / L32
Revhigh performance camshafts for the Holden Statesman Ecotec 3.8L L36 / L32 V6 (VS, VU, VT, VX, VY), designed for naturally aspirated applications and also suited to nitrous or intercooled boost.
Choose in the drop-down: Choose your cam in the drop-down. The two grinds (REV1 and REV2) are described below. If you are unsure which suits your car, message us before ordering.
What is included:
1 x camshaft. Valve springs, retainers, lifters, pushrods, timing chain and gaskets are listed separately.
Anytime you upgrade the camshaft from the stock one, we highly recommend running Comp Cams or Crow Cams 105# valve springs (or the common LS 90 lb valve spring), Revhigh modified retainers, LS7 lifters and 7.00" pushrods. You can run the stock timing chain with a new replacement damper, or the better option is the Rollmaster double timing chain with an extra thick front cover gasket and a machined oil pump cover. Not all of these upgrades are always required; they are a combination that works very well together.
REV1 cam
Designed for naturally aspirated applications where emissions and streetability are important. It will generally not set SES lights. It uses steep ramp rates and tight base lobes to keep the computer happy while still providing great performance. It does not set the P0300 code and can be installed on a stock 3.8L all the way to radical. Designed for the NA 3.8L but will also work well with nitrous or intercooled boost. It can be used on stock heads with stock springs and retainers, but 90# or 105# springs and higher shift points are recommended. Look for gains of 30+ HP depending on your car's current configuration.
- 210/210 at .050"
- Intake lift .317" (.507" at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)
- Exhaust lift .317" (.507" at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)
- 113 LSA
REV2 cam
Designed for NA applications with maximum power at higher rpm and for getting the most out of stock heads. Upgrade the valve springs (125# or higher), modified retainers and LS7 lifters. It has a lopey idle (lumpy especially with headers) and performs best with a higher stall speed torque converter. It will set the P0300 code unless programmed out of the PCM. Raised shift points (6500), a raised rev limiter (7k) and gears / converter are all recommended. Look for gains of 40 HP depending on your car's current configuration.
- 216/216 at .050"
- Intake lift .317" (.507" at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)
- Exhaust lift .317" (.507" at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)
- 111 LSA
