Mines same right now, its just time on the dyno and getting it right.  Throttle response is awesome I reckon with ITB’s.

I’m with Gary.  Shame to loose the 8ttb. But I’d be biased if I didn’t like the 1900

Happy new years everyone  first update for the year and my new years  resolution  i decided i need boost in my life got my charger its currently getting a full rebuild and inspection at harrop also decided  to make some other changes to the car like power steering  and going to try for square stance 19×260/35 at all 4 corners. Stay tuned

Well the NA/ITB part of me is a bit sad, but the general car guy in me is keen to see how this evolves

[capssyParticipant Pro touring calais View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 178]

Thanks gary i know the feeling but i just couldn’t say no to the charger on a side note my itb setup will be for sale eventually  so anyone keen hit me up price will be quite good and it will come with everything  including  braided lines water pump radiator

looks like I’ve got an invite to harrop ultimate street car invitational this year  so its all steam ahead to get the car ready to see the track I haven’t been on here for a while because ive been teaching myself how to tune got my hands on hp tuners and a wide band setup still allot to learn but im getting there also been doing another small project for a mate in the last few weeks ls2 into a gq patrol (so much fun leaving people scratching their heads at the lights) I just got that running so im back into the vl

[capssyParticipant Pro touring calais View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 178]

so made a decision on wheels dropping back to 18″ for more tyre and 255 allround going to weld rts s77s

Wondered how you have been getting on.  That set up looks pretty well engineered, love the display set up.  Wheels are boss.  Carry on
