Which is the ghost cam? There is supposedly a tune the dealer can install with the GM CAI.
There is a GM performance cam but its not street legal and voids warrany

He’s talking about a tune that emulates the choppiness of an aftermarket camshaft by manipulating the VVT values at idle. It was popular on Mustangs, as well.

That's as poser as putting SS emblems on your V6 or four banger. I really cant understand why someone would purposefully screw up their cars's operating efficiency to emulate something they are not. Dont cheap out. Build a real motor that does it for a reason. Your right foot and butt will thank you.

I didn't know they were available on the LS3. I thought it was a V6 thing.

a ghost cam tune is absolutely terrible for your engine. Most places that I knew that would do this some time ago, won't do it anymore due to that.

First it doesn't come with a "real built motor" from the factory, it performs well stock and modded to a point but built it is not (for the most part out performs the oldies). Second, it wouldn't sound "cammed" with the stock cam in there regardless of tunning (go check out the stock specs), so yes tunning it to sound cammed without it being cammed is poser. They certainly could release them with a lopey idle, it would just require a cam change... Tyler |

As for the sound, its not something I would do... I can't imagine what kind of internal damage you may do by misconfiguring the VVT just to get a lopey idle. I'd go for the cam route and a proper tune -- but I was also kind of guessing some may attempt this in effort to avoid voiding their warranty if they can somehow hide the flash. |

you can do it by adjusting the Idle speed control to fight itself and constantly search for idle. It does this by rapidly advancing and retarding the timing. See the below screenshot. While you may fool a couple of people, most car guys will tell right away its fake, and others will just think something is wrong with your car.
