The idea behind VCT is to be able to constantly dial in the cam on the fly. The factory run conservative settings here for emissions but if you spend the time to do it right you can pick up power right through the rev range. After an exhaust, fiilter and other cheap mods, a tune and remap of your vct is the most cost effective mod you can do on an NA falcon. With B and F series their VCT is truly variable, not a 2 stage switch like the AU VCT (which still came on pretty strong might I add). Hey mate, I've got a BF and know that it has true Duel VCT. Heard that even though the BA's said Duel VCT on the rocker cover it wasn't proper? From day one I've always wanted to know what VCT stands for and what it does exactly. Could you please clear this up?  . This may sound dumb lol, but is it like Fords equivalent of Honda's VTEC or Toyota's VVTI?Cheers, Jova. |

Hey mate, just to clear things up for ya,
VCT = Variable Camshaft Timing Pretty much VCT tunes the cams for revs you are pulling, from when your idleing all the way till you hit the limiter Wikipedia link, should tell you what you want to know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Cam_Timing cheers |

The boss 290 fpv engine uses crow camshafts. So what does that tell u!?
All u people mocking crow cams.. Maybe u should look in to the correct tuners before u jump ahead n choose tuners that don't specialize in a particular upgrade!!

So how did your mate go with the install and running of the Atomic Stage 4 306551. Curious cos I ordered the Stage 3 306550 and got Stage 4 306551 instead. I though Stage 3 didn't need a tune and Stage 4 did and yet to find a decent tuner up in Townsville.

HDT in Mackay do a decent job. I friend of mine just had his VN group A tuned using a Tuner pro and calmaker. Aitkenvale dyno did the original tune with a Haltech, which would blacken plugs and discolour the rear bumper, pig to start, idled like a pig etc. HDT switched back to a stock ECU and then used Tuner pro and calmaker to sort the tune. it's a whole different animal now, starts first go every time, idles hot or cold, the bumper is clean and it made a bunch more mid range and a handful more at peak. It's a much nicer car to drive now. |
