3.0 Cams vs 3.2 Cams
28. Apr 2011 at 19:39
 
If I wanted to up the power in my Omega, I am told that I can replace my 3.0 Intake Cams with 3.0 Exhaust Cams in my 3.0 Engine.
Would having 2x 3.0 Exhaust Cams in the engine produce more power or
having 2x 3.2 Exhaust Cams in the engine (rather than the standard 1x Exhaust Cam and 1x Intake Cams)

Vauxhall spent millions developing these engines. . So you need to ask yourself, would Vauxhall not have put Exhaust Cams in all four places if it would have been better?  Huh

I have 2x 3.2 inlet and 2x 3.2 exhaust cams for a very reasonable price. You can put them on in any order you want. Wink Cheesy Grin
