Vs cam vs 1.9 rockers

[Juskenny7]

Which is better performance wise and which would you do?

[REDCRAPGP]

So wrong section but I'm sure a mod will move it.


Vs cam > rockers

Had rockers originally. Took them out and sold them and bought a vs cam. Even though its not a huge cam it was still a good improvement over the rockers.

Oh ok thanks... My bad about the section new to this

[tms8582]

Cam gives more power throughout the entire power band but is more involved to install and tune. I pulled my motor last winter with plans to install rockers but decided to go with a cam instead. I'm glad I went to a cam now that the project is done but looking back had I just installed rockers I'd have a lot more money in the bank and just a little less get up and go lol

Cam, but go XP. I was thinking VS decided the XP and would never go back. Oh and reallllly wrong section lol.

[blueguy]

Comparing rockers to a cam is like comparing smirnoff girly drinks to hard liquor.

Sure...you can drink both...

But one makes you a woman.

I had modded 1.9's on my 98 and went with a s1x on my comp g. I'm liking the cam a lot more.

[Juskenny7]

With the Xp cam what all do you have to modify to support the cam

[dsmuts]

Nothing more than if you did the vs cam

[Juskenny7]

I'm asking if I put the cam in what would I need to support it

[dsmuts]

Should change the timing chain and damper springs and retainers

[GTPpower]

That is incorrect.

With the XP cam, you need milled retainers, and you should install shorter valve seals as well. The XP will also require heavier springs.
