it still doesn't change the lift or duration of the cam, only the overlap and timing in realation to the crankshaft, nothing new or groundbreaking.Originally Posted by agjohn02
Nah, they just need to be fixed so they are in full "muffler bypass mode"Originally Posted by tigweld

but that's imposible with only a cam gear. if it is I wanna know how the cam gear affects the duration and lift of cam, that's a new one to me.Originally Posted by agjohn02
it doesnt, but as far as GM V8's go, overlap is valve timing, not cam timing. thats why i called it both. its no vtec, but its getting there.
the same technology has been available in the trailblazers inline 6 since they came to market a couple of years ago. the 440hp daddy is a very impressive engine, the intercooler tubes are real cool, but caddy had to do something the n/a northstar is kinda a dog compared to the other oem's performance luxury platforms.Originally Posted by agjohn02
the trailblazer is GM's production test stand. they've had DOD for a year already as an option. i foresee VVT in caddies in the near future. its the only platform thats practical to implement it in.
caddy is behind (but catching fast) when you look at the other foreign performace luxury sedans, guranteed new caddy performace stuff will be comming out, should be neat.
caddy racing is helping the drive and determination to make the cars better....it doesn't hurt to have two identical CTS-V Race cars ripping everybody a new areshole every weekend in SCCA Pro-Series.
