I cant wait to see the overlay of all the cams, from vcm, crow, brian tooley etc when your done. It will be the go to source for all things ls1 when your done!
Another great video. I think it's a good comparison. I have a 6 speed manual LS1 with a 216/220 cam. It has .600 lift and is on 112 LSA. I love the punch it has at low to mid range. In particular with CNC heads and smaller exhaust. All while driving beautifully with no real lope. So smooth! With a larger cam in the same combo, I did not enjoy the lack of low to mid range in comparison to the smaller camshaft. So, I went back to a small cam. Like shown here, it didn't look like that much difference on the dyno sheet, but it felt very different to drive. On the street, it feels much stronger. Tuner said the same.
Mate, I’ve spent the last week watching all your videos/reviews, love it all, keep them coming! Yes… it’s going to make my decision even harder!!! Your the man, Thanks…
It would have been fantastic if these videos existed 10 to 12 years ago when everyone was camming there cars and there wasn’t much info around or many cams to choose from. Top work mate good honest reviews but never knocking anyone down
Another awesome video Stathi. It might be worth talking about overlap and how it effects the power curve as well as the driveability and smell. Definitely put the Crow 871036 on the list. I think viewers would also be interested to see overlays of similar cams in the same engine combination I.e. VCM532 vs BTR Red Hot etc. Keep up the great work 💪
Great video and very informative. Im thinking of getting the vcm480 in a 2009 wm. L76. I will have to do a DOD delete. If i do get the vcm480, is a stall convertor needed or can i just use the standard auto?
Great work mate, learning a lot here with the information you're providing, it's helping me narrow down my search what camshaft to choose. Looking forward to more Cam testing vids! Cheers.
What is your opinion on the crow 1249 vs the vcm 480? I guess the 480 might make a little more torque and sound more cranky. Would they have similar driveability?
great content indeed mate, any plans on doing this with the 6.0l tho from a ve perhaps, i feel like that there are ALOT of ve's out there espesially with the 6l90 trans. also still very intersted to see the range of gm motorsport as they do seem to achive some insane numbers.
if given the opportunity, you should try the VCM883. i ran that cam in a VE 6L and loved it, so much so i kept it in after i built the motor to 404ci. Would be interested to see it in an LS1 and the curve against those 3.
Truly appreciate the effort, mate. Do you think the 532 would suit a manual with a mag 2300 blower for daily driving? The cam that's in it is similar to the 480 and it's a bit of a pig... It rips, but fk me dead...
Loving how informative this series is
Thank you I'm glad you're enjoying it
this blokes an absolute legend for making these videos 👌👌

The Crow Cam, Heads and tune you guys did on my WH Stato made 306 rear wheel KWs.
3 years on it still rips
Do the Phat Lobe crow cams 1212 all ready !!!!
Hanging for this
Great work Stathi and appreciate your honest thoughts!
Thanks Stathi for all your effort, would the vcm 480 in a ls3 be similar to the vcm 532 in the ls1 your testing

These videos are gold
Great series what you think about the vcm 710 cam thank you
King of r&d videos and informative videos! Loved it
Love these videos. What's the advantages or disadvantages of 2 identical camshafts but if one had a higher lsa?

Im putting a vcm480 in my car next week thanks for the video
You will love it it's an angry Camshaft
Daily drove the 532 in my vf for years before I rebuilt the engine , great little cam
It's a little ripper.
Mate thank you so much for doing this , your a legend
You are welcome glad you liked it

Would be a very good supercharger cam. You definitely won't be disappointed
