CommodoresPlus

1 week AFTER the gearbox was put in it was time for PCM! [Performance Car Mania] at Winton Motor Raceway.

I had the pcm de-tuned with less timing, little richer and 6800rpm rev limiter just to be on the safe side.

With the new gearbox in, and finally a chance to learn the car its good to see what it is capable of.

Its actually really lively…[Read more]

It has been a very rough few months with a few things that has been going on in day to day life.

Thought i better check in and update wether all want to hear it or not haha.

In august Matt pulled out my gearbox as it was going some really strange things. it was slipping in top, and in 1st felt like you were driving with the handbrake on. With…[Read more]

i agree man, it really sucks.

But what you have made here is a credit to you, it’ll be the goto place for years to come #commodoresplus

That sandman was off the chain man.

Killer car.

Haha Cava called me Brent, such a gentleman.

Was great to put a face to the name 👍

That was my mate Trent in the gold torana that chopped me up.

He wanted to race me off the trailor haha

if only getting is cammed just go 460lph intank and upgrade the wiring. then that way if you go a setup like mine with big injectors its covered

Ridiculous isnt it haha. Everybody know everybody in the car scene.

Without tooting my own horn at car shoe i always get the ‘hey, i saw this on commodores plus forum’

So it is pretty cool Gary has made this forum very active unlike sc.

No such thing as 6 degrees of separation anymore hahaa

130lph is about a standard GM Ls1 pump in a vt-vz
Will be fine for like 228/232@112 vcm 7 cam with standard injectors.

If you go 460lph, upgrade all your wiring. Its draws SOO much current.
It melted the sender and body harness loom in my vx.

You’re a gentleman man, was good to put a face to the name finally haha.

10.63 @132mph, 1.52 in the 60′ on that pass was the best run of the day and a pb at that!

More stall speed and 4.11 gears to come over the winter break.

Hopefully your vs may make an appearance there next year

Thanks man,

Matt has gotten out of the trade working on cars and into industrial working on trucks and that.

Pop in and see Pete at Casey. Tell him I sent you. He is a gentleman.

Vcm 60 pound injectors

lowe fab (aka muscle garage) trans mount and crossmember

Castlemaine Rod Shop starter relocater kit.

We got some data from the Holden…[Read more]

killer its starting to take shape man. make sure you install the cable right. i found that out the hard way haha.

if yours is anything like mine you’ll need to space the trans crossmember down 10mm.

for fstgmh, vkefi8 and mine it stopped the pipes resting on the floor as they came out of the header. but then turbo is probably different so i’ll…[Read more]

Theres a few things you have to take into consideration, have to space the gearbox down 8mm so the pipes dont hit the floor. Wether you will run a cell and do all the plumbing to suit if you are going cammed and stuff later on, manual rack (v8 & 6cyl have the same rack and intermediate shaft in a vk), plus a few other odds and ends

Should go 10.4 with that mph.

Just need the converter to flash to like 6000rpm and 60′ like a boss.

1.62 in the 60 isnt anything to rave about but its not bad for a first time out.

The motor went 10.6 @ 129 in fstgmh red vk. Converter was at 5400, little bit tight.  Used to flash to 4800. So needed more. Plus 60′ was up the shit at something like 1.65

And yes does suit the cam 237/248 @110

Its killer on the street man.

Nice and loose. Easy to maintain speed etc

Literally a dream come true man.

I’ve never steered anything quite like this before.

Can’t wait to get behind the wheel again which will be May 6th at Heathcote Raceway for the Holden Nationals

Hopefully 10.6-10.5 range with a with a looser converter.

60′ foot is killing the run like a boss

Other wise killer first night out!

Haha do it once, do it right!

cheers man. i see you bonnet is coming along well
