I think you have some research to do senpai. Those questions all suggest you don't really know what a cam even does.

Watch a few episodes of Engine Masters

There are no aftermarket cams for 3.6 engines

Get a V8, Son.

Thanks for the no help.

>>15362780
At least you gave me a bit of useful information before you became a cunt, son.

>>15362780
> wanting a gas guzzling V8

Ugh , no thanks !

>>15362888
I regret not getting the cts-v

I'm definitely getting a v8 next time.

People that are buying luxury cars aren't worried about gas prices faggot, just an fyi.

>>15362733
That was probably a 300C with a Hemi V8, hence the muscle car rumble. You should have bought a CTS-V.

>>15362917
Yeah, I kinda regret not doing that actually...

I'm not getting rid of this car though because I already dumped a bunch of money into it in other shit and I know I will never get back.

Now I could always buy another car... Not necessarily a cts-v.

What's a v8 car around 10k that would be easy to make fast?

Or should I just buy one that is already done.

Sorry I didn't feel like typing out a full page of info when it's available in milliseconds from thousands of places on the internet, INCLUDING Comp Cams, if you could merely be fucked to google "aftermarket cam"

It's obvious you had no intention on answering any of my questions.
So the point of responding was to validate yourself in some way? Cool, you exist, you can go now. Thanks for the no help with a side of derail.

>V6

you can do everyone a favor and kill yourself

>>15363033
I did answer your question. You just didn't get the answer you wanted.

You asked:
>how do cams work

I politely explained that you should just fucking google it

My last 2 cars where v8s...

Or I can just buy another car.

I was thinking an old cop car or camaro. It looks like you can get them for under 5k, and that's doable.

>>15363061
I already told you that I did google it. If you have no intention of having a discussion with me about cams that has more substance then 'hurrrrpy derrrpy but gaynon you have internet and the google y u not look ther? anon? whyyyyy'

That's you, that's what you sound like.

why are you still here.

>inb4 you tell me to google about P71s

fucking autist

>>15363069
Not him but learn to Google better m8

>>15363069
>P71
Well at least you'd fit in with the owners club around here, given that you know nothing about cars

I've concluded that either neither of you know, or you'd rather berate me than give me helpful advice.

Thanks cunts!

>>15363078
I'm sort of glad I don't, you seem to be a very welcoming bunch to those that are new. Again, thanks for nothing...

You could have just said

>you can't do that with that car

At least one of you isn't completely useless.
>>15362780

OP either you are trolling or are the cunt yourself. If you have to ask what a cam does and are considering putting one in a v6, then you shouldn't even consider it. I understand not having knowledge about such things, but how did you google it and not find what you are looking for? And you say you know nothing about cars, so why go asking about cams? Best to do some research yourself, find a cheap LS (camaro, trans am) and start from there. They are good learner cars. But start with bolt ons. Internal engine shit is a whole nother ball game, especially for someone who claims to know nothing. There are cams for various degrees of usage. If you're looking for more sound you can have a cam spec'd for that. But I would highly suggest you spend a lot of time on Google.

>>15362888
this guy probably hasn't driven a v8...

>>15362899
>>15362937
I don't really spend something like 10k on cars personally so my advice would be to keep your CTS for now and also buy a second car cheap to fuck around with - that's the /o/ way.

For a guy like you I'd say LS400

I'm thinking about getting a CTS 3.6 2012 or 2013 ...can you give me a rundown of the good and bad on it?

3.6L Cadillac engines have early timing chain failure, sell that piece of shit now.

Look it up.

>>15365033
Which particular 3.6 are you referring to? You can't be this dumb

>>15362888
>hurr durr 2 city mpg is worth the lack of sound and aftermarket

>>15365049

Eat a dick faggot, look for yourself you lazy shitter.

>>15363090
Alright listen up you faggot.
Stop googling about your engine and start googling about cams and what they do. You'll quickly learn it has to do with the exhaust, intake, and a lot of valves. It's all about how long those valves are open for and when they're opening. They give increases in power but can compromise driveability. That's all the info I'm giving you, Google "learn about camshafts" if you want to know more.

/o/ provides answers for those willing to learn and not wanting the easy way out. You want a simple short answer without learning anything and you want someone to take your hand and lead you to the perfect thing. Well go fuck yourself? We want you to become educated in how am engine works and if you're even semi-intelligent you'll understand in under 15 minutes just by reading a little.

>>15362733
>CTS 3.6
>Performance
Pick one.

You're never going to make a V6 properly sound like a V8, either.
I'm also betting you don't actually know what a camshaft does. Just a little bit of advice: You have to remap your ignition timing if you change cams. If you don't know how to do that then don't fuck with your cams.

Forget to take your pills, champ? Everything alright at home? Get it off your chest
