Yep.

VCT off on the poncams, loss in down low power, VCT on, better down low power. Keep the VCT if its a street car, Tomei Poncams are made for VCT so why are you asking about Poncams with VCT disabled?

Making power at high revs on an engine is easy, making power at low revs is difficult.

its not a streeter, the amount of oil the vct feed returns to the head when its deactivated at 6500 is an issue, and when using 8200 revs even with extra oil returns and restricted feeds is an issue. did the pon cams loose bottom end over std sticks even with vct active

Did a whole lot of headwork at the same time therefore can't compare. Only comparison we did was moving around the VCT change point and turning it on and off to see how it was affected. If its not a street car, and it's going to be in high rpm constantly, than the VCT not being enabled wouldn't make a difference.

The only reason i want to ditch the vct is the amount of oil it releases into the rh rocker box when it is deactivated at 6400, it has a 6 speed box so the ratios are pretty close i can afford to give away a little responce but the std cams are no good with out vct operating, i may have to fit a set of 256s and run it. what other head work did you do at the time and what where the net gains. cheers

    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
