LS Performance Mods | Heads and Cam Upgrade - VE/VF Commodore

We show you one of the best LS power mods you can perform on your LS 6.0L engine as our new race heads (CNC ported Higgins Race Heads) and Brian Tooley Camshaft arrive for our VE Commodore race car. Installing new race heads improves compression and increases air-fuel flow performance. Our BTR camshaft is a custom grind for high RPM race circuit driving and we have included all the specifications of the lift, duration and lobe separation angle (LSA) in the video. We are targeting 500hp in our LS engine build with our eyes set firmly on a sub 1.10 lap time at Wakefield Park raceway in our NASCAR inspired Holden Commodore VE SS track ute.

At 11.00, never get tired of listening to the red VF idle...

Love the tape over the intake ports when your pulling the heads off

Sharon has just taken the Getz down to Dan Murphys to get some Vodka Cruisers so we can watch this episode together. We have our fingers crossed that Frankie will star in this episode!! What a way to spend Friday night on the couch!! Are you going to put out some merchandise soon or

I like the new cam & heads.
As a suggestion, In future if you are going to try show some detail (eg. Ports in heads and cam spec card) consider pausing more on the detail (less movement) or take some photos and let people look at them and talk while the photo is up then move back into the video.

Gee they look pretty trick. What a difference from the standard heads. Are you replacing the exhaust valves for some sodium filled ones? Hopefully this motor gets put together soon.

[tarbaby]

love your work guy`s those heads look awesome, but if i am not mistaken it is pronounced trunnion, nit trinion . good show.

[mrnicktoyou]

Are you aiming for 500hp at the wheels? Because you can get that power at the crank with the standard heads. No need to upgrade.

Edit: ignore me, I just watched to the end and you explained it.

[garysmith]

Those heads look amazing. How much did they charge?

[dimetime]

That is a massive camshaft! Not sure it'll make any power under 5000rpm

Hi Guys, love your work.. I am all inspired and have an eye on a project car -2009 Holden Ute SS VE Manual, doesnt seem to have the DOD / AFM. Would this be a good starting point to build something fast and fun? Cheers Gerald

Following this with interest but nothing for 5 months... Any updates or none because of Covid?

[quad]

Where's the spec list big fella? Looks like it will be pretty tuff but still streetable.

[brockholder]

How do mods like this effect reliability of the engine?

[steve]

Hi, did you have any piston to valve clearance with that cam and shaving 30 thou off heads?

[grantreid]

With the modern machinery now now lapping valves in is a thing of the past. A lot of the machines have their own vacuum check machine now and you just sit the valve in after the machining is done and look at the gauge. Most garages should have their own small vacuum unit for checking the valve seal. As a reconditioner myself in the early days we lapped valves as the equipment used was nowhere as good as that used now. Lapping valves with the modern stuff now is a waste of time.

[pedroangelo]

Are you going to boost this engine or keep it n/a?

[requis]

hey sorry dude coudnt be the first cuz of school

[megamindtvsydney]

Hi guys ! Would you like to do my car ? Ve ssv has Otr and cat back 3” l98 auto box
$12000 budget

[LSturboguy]

CNC heads are a waste of money unless your putting in big cui, a big cam and compression there's other ways to get hp out of a LS especially if you got req port heads as they already flow great engine builder are saying their only see 20hp out of a set of CNC ported heads, theres 10-15hp with roller rockers alone, fast intake manifold for even more, if you want bang for a buck put a stroker kit then you got as much as 100-125hp and huge torque, I had my heads hand ported I'm making 1400hp with my stroker and big 98mm Turbo, dont get caught up in the CNC wank unless you building something that can take advantage of big port head

If you don’t mind what did them headers set you back to do ?
