How many other people are running a cam in there daily driver?
07-06-2011
I rocked one for 3+ years

See thats what I was thinking as long as you take care of it the rght way it shouldn't be any different except maybe a bit more expensiveOriginally Posted by BillBoost37

shouldnt make a difference unless youre shredding timing chain tensioners and transmission parts.

Daily driver with VS cam 2 years.
07-06-2011
I daily drove an XP cam for about 3 years with no problems at all.

better question is how many miles u put on ur daily driver. i know people whos daily driven cars get 5 000 miles in a year. i do over 20k.
07-06-2011
sub'd
07-07-2011
15,000 per year. 35 miles a day for work. 30,000 so far on the vs cam. 184,000 on car.

i am thinking of running a s3x cam from intense along with supporting mods, and was wondering if anyone has run this cam and how they liked it.
07-07-2011
This.
Clocked over 44k on mine.

S3 intense cam is pretty crazy, you would need to have someone that isnt intense tune it for you... Even then you might struggle if you drive it in sub zero temps alot.
A XP is a good balance in terms of being able to run on a mail order tune / a tune by a moron.

IS3 cam with gen5 and E85 would be a fun build forsure. That was my 1st plan then by the time you start adding in cost of heads, injectors, double roller chain, 130# springs, I think for the money a turbo setup gets to be a seriously close decision considering everthing thats needed to run that IS3 cam and get the most out of it and still prolly make 350whp. Or just do a turbo and make 350whp easily. The turbo just leaves room to make way more HP down the road.

Vet you've never DD'd a fast car.
Cmon now.
07-07-2011
Nope I was just talking about the money invested, the turbo leaves more room to make much more.

I dd my gp, dont drive much at all tho. Surges like a boss in the winter till warm.
07-07-2011
what about broken pieces and accelerated wear on parts? im sure its not THAT dd friendly.
not the 1S3.. a small cam
07-07-2011
Been rockin' an XP for 3 years, now. 30k on it with no cam-related issues.
07-08-2011
I see most so far have been running or used to run a cam for about 3 years. Those that don't anymore, is it because you sold the car or did something break?
07-08-2011
Yeah, I demodded and built my motor...now I have a stupid huge cam.
No longer the daily
