Cams for the vr6

**DubSteve** · 29-07-2007, 05:57 PM

Hey all fellow dubbers,

Right the time has come to look at some extra power in the vr. Now it has exhaust and intake mods so I did notice a small difference when that happened.

Now I have been reading up on some ideas and the first engine mod is looking like a camshaft upgrade

I have been looking at this from Autotech:

Just wondering if anyone has had any past experience with aftermarket camshafts. They are a 262 cam from Autotech.

Does anyone have any other suggestions looking to spend something in the vasinity of $500 nothing more really

Thanks for replys from now

dude stifflers mom on vwvortex recently did cams. I think he had some teething probs. not 100% sure tho. maybe send him a msg and ask him his impressions.

All I can think of is that internal engine parts = $$$

Schrick manifold is the way to go for a VR.

Tim, Gavin

I want to look at a cam and chip combo as first. The one that is advertised by Autotech is $299 which is probably something in the vasinity of $400-500 AUD plus shipping, its not that bad I think.

Tim as for your manifold I want its just its alot but I it is still on my "I want to buy it badly so freakin much" list

What kind of power is a cam like a 262 rated for?
