At Revhigh, we thrive on transforming everyday performance into extraordinary power. When Riley brought in his VF V8 6.0L, he was already enjoying a respectable 275kW at the wheels thanks to a full catback exhaust, Revhigh-coated headers, and a VCM over-the-radiator (OTR) intake. But, like any true enthusiast, he wanted more. After discussing his goals, we knew the perfect solution: our #lumpy 225/236@114 camshaft upgrade.
The Initial Setup
Riley's VF V8 already had a strong foundation with:
Full catback exhaust system
Revhigh-coated headers
VCM OTR intake
While these modifications provided solid gains, the power plateaued at 275kW at the wheels. To push the limits and deliver even more grunt, we decided to dive deeper with a comprehensive camshaft and supporting component upgrade.
The Camshaft Upgrade Package
Our 225/236@114 camshaft is a perfect balance of performance and drivability. It delivers a strong mid-range punch without the annoying bucking at low RPM. Here’s a breakdown of what we installed to extract every bit of potential from Riley's L77 6.0L engine:
Dual 660” valve springs for improved valve control
Texas Speed & Performance (TSP) camshaft for precise tuning
Durabond cam bearings for durability
Rocker trunnion upgrade for enhanced rocker stability
Varex mufflers to provide adjustable sound levels
High-pressure oil pump for optimal lubrication
Chrome moly 7.4” pushrods for superior strength
GM LS7 lifters and lifter buckets for reliable valve actuation
Powerbond 25% underdrive pulley for reduced parasitic loss
Blackwell cylinder heads for improved airflow
Xtreme heavy-duty clutch to handle increased torque
DOD (Displacement on Demand) delete plate to remove AFM limitations
New sensors, belts, plugs, leads, and all required gaskets (including German head gaskets) for a comprehensive refresh
The Results
With all upgrades completed and fine-tuned on the dyno, the results were nothing short of impressive:
363kW (485 HP) at the wheels at 6600 RPM
Considering the only other major modifications were the 1-5/8 headers and a medium cam, these numbers showcase just how effective our tuning and parts package can be. The upgraded camshaft not only improved peak power but also delivered crisp throttle response and a healthy "lump" that every V8 enthusiast loves.
