ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/03/08 01:35 AM Share Posted 27/03/08 01:35 AM I think the non HSV cars run a LS74 truck motor. Same 6lt displacement, but different to the LS2.I wonder why HSV do not offer the displacement on demand like they will on the export models......

My mate has a VZ SS and when he got his head/cam package it made huge power compared to a VZ R8 with the same package because apparently they have bigger valves and some other minor difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
