I  dialled it in on 109 centreline needed -2 deg same as the 231/247 I had.

The cv’s seem to be ok but living on borrowed time with nitrous and

I always carry a spare.

Got 3 fuel jets to try too.

Very keen to see how it goes with the fuel dialled in.

Hopefully ill report back soon with a few time slips.

Tuning is almost done,prob do a lil…[Read more]

Got any pics cav454?

I drive mine daily too only a short distance though.

I’m always changing stuff this is my 3rd cam change so far on this engine lol.

Its the same with any otr remove the filter and gain 1-2 tenths.

Even my old vs gained 1 tenth by removing the panel filter.

Nothing wrong with the design but when chasing every tenth

most people pull the filter as its a restriction and tend to trap heat in.

I think at the strip the dus otr work very well without a filter.

On the street you…[Read more]

Im not too concerned really and why bother for 7rwkw?

Whats the airbox worth?

Was the test done with bonnet closed?

I know the filter is small but on takes few sec to remove it and my cars not exactly sleeper material under the bonnet.

Yeah i wouldn’t change it anyway.

1 i like the look.

2 while the air box may be similar on the dyno but at the track is what its designed for and it works very well. I also take the filter out as its worth 2 tenths.

Yes has 100 thou flycuts done with the lindy tools.

All done sounds awesome and did some tuning ,so far so good!

Few pics from the install.

I do love it ,awesome car it handles well, brakes well.

Just needs an exhaust tune an otr so it sounds like it should

it’s way to quiet atm.

On another note my parts turned up from summit racing so

I’m installing a new lsr 3 bolt cam 235/251  today should be cranky!

VF S1

Bought prob 2 months before the series 2 came out.

Got a good deal though its a nice car.

Have to start a thread for it.

Plans are full exhaust and otr atm.

I want to go turbo eventually.

Depends what your asking price is and wether I have the funds

I doubt I could afford it atm.

Just  recently bought a new vf ssv redline,was very close

to buy an ase kit but decided to get a new car instead.

Just has a digital tps/wot switch.

Mine used to be an m6 too, can’t  beat an auto at the strip though

and manuals are a lot harder on the tailshaft,drive shafts and diff etc.

I always thought the 4l80e was ok guess not.

Cant go wrong with the turbo 400 they are very tough boxes.

I could go up to a 200 shot but I don’t think the rear end would like it

Haven’t broken a cv yet but always carry spares.

Bit much for cast pistons, plan to upgrade the rods and pistons next year.

I got a turbo 400 built by craigs automatics good for 800hp.

Wouldn’t  be so bad with a taller ratio like 3:07 or 3.45 but 3.9s suck on the freeway.

30min drive is enough lol.

Saying that my turbo 400 will handle pretty much anything I throw at it.

Have you considered the 4l80e?

Been out again recently to wsid

Tried a smaller 219/235 lsr cam and TCE reworked my converter now 4500 stall

and  went 11.4 120 mph twice.

Tried 150hp nitrous pill and got massive wheelspin and went 11.00 125 mph

2nd go went 10.9 123 mph (bottle empty) and got kicked out.

Need to use smaller fuel jets as its too rich atm but should be easy…[Read more]
