Hi guys just need some help choosing a cam for my xr6 turbo engine I really want to change the cam, would like one with lumpy idle and want to see about 350rwkw I have only ever heard one on the street but never found out what cam it was.

Cheers Guys

Waste of money. A bigger cam will not see the same gains as different components in the same price range.

After 8 or so years there are proven methods to modding these cars which you should follow.

If you want a big lumpy cam at idle get an LSx motor...

Yeah I know it's not a real performance mod I just want the noise lol I can get cams for $280

Cams for 280 or whatever + valvesprings + labour to fit + Specific retune to suit = HEAPS. Listen to Brods . Want a rough idle ? Unclip the wiring off one injector LOL.

Wow.. good info guys... If the guy wants to spend his money let him FFS..

Go to Atomic Performance website, they have a few cam types and they are suited to our cars..

I had a cam in my old VS V6, and loved it, sounded tuff and when it kicked it was like having a midget turbo lol..

Just trying to help him from making an expensive mistake.

A camshaft change can be beneficial in some instances. I picked up about 20rwkw changing for BA cams to FG cams. The later model cams help the engine not to lay over at the upper rev range.

Thanks guys

To get a camshaft with the lumpiness, your talking atomic stage 4+ cams, hardly a cheap upgrade and they wont do much other than lump and chew fuel , theyre designed for guys running large turbo and alot of boost.
