Ghost cam

Deqos · 09-20-2017, 08:49 AM

Now i know im not mechanically inclined or know much about engines.. But im trying to learn and I was looking for a cam for the 370z that had that raw choppiness that I love to hear but mostly hear on american muscle. I was wondering if it was possible on the 370z's stock VQ37 engine.. I came across this video and was taken aback!! This thing sounds amazing, but he won't tell anyone what cam it is so I was wondering if any of you know what cam it is or a cam that would give that aggressive chop like his does... Thanks for any feedback

..

Edit: I found a thread on here stating it was a ghost cam tune?? Now im really confused lol does that mean you just have to get a tune and a full exhaust and basically the tune does the chopping or what

Edit2: Now I have gone through the tuners (Uprev and Ecutek) and see that Uprev offers a map that includes cam timing and another thats ghost cam? Not sure if thats a map or not but thats what i got from the post anyways. Now I guess my new question is, what maps does UpRev offer that EcuTek doesn't and vice versa. At the moment im not Forced inducted but I do plan to be in a couple years but ill need a tune for the mods i plan on putting on. I couldn't find a post that had what maps each Tuner service had available.. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The Ghost Cam tune in uprev is the automotive tuning equivalent to a card in the spokes of a bicycle or a fake blowoff valve. The VQ has a distinct sound of it's own and to really bring it out you need a good exhaust.

Pretty sure he doesn't even have a real cam in that car it's just something the ECU (uprev) does to produce a cam like sound.

That's exactly what it is. It does nothing for performance it just sounds different. You'd probably do better and get the same effect by putting a banana in the driver side exhaust pipe and leaving the passenger side open.

Sounds like a PeP Boyz exhaust.
