Blown Holden Vs Boosted Xr

3sp PG ftw

I've heard the LS1's were built in Mexico to a very sloppy tolerance and as a result each engine is inconsistent, they seem to experience different problems engine to engine mostly to do with oil leaks in random locations. other than that haven't heard to many complaints.

His will be easier to cruise in (depending on how big the cam is) with zero lag and miles of low-end torque. His will probably feel quicker and give bigger smiles with all the noise and drama about it.

But yours will still be quicker overall. As much as I dont like lag, I actually love it and sometimes prefer it. Like when you pull out to overtake and it comes on song after a second or so, its like you know whats coming and it still excites you everytime.

Also, his full exhaust and constant whine will begin to annoy him after about 2 hours of highway cruising...

My mate has a centrifugal charger on his Ls1 and it sounds nuts but it also sounds like the power steering pump is about to pack out, so I could imagine that the constant whine would annoy after a while.

Our cars are very civilised until you plant the foot which is what you want in the long run.

Had a look at that blower. Its a roots type so you should be safe.

Its the twin screw that would scare me. good thing blown fords get the twin screws and holdens get the roots type.

(in most cases I have seen anyway)

haha always have to put a little disclaimer in to cover yourself before someone jumps in saying errr that's actually not the case

centrifugal SC are just pov and are a waste of money IMO

How long is a piece of string? It's its like saying will this yellow car beat this green car?

So many variables but either will be fun.

What workshop is doing it?

Yours should make similar power for half the $$ than his

Gentech site sponsor.

I had an operation recently and in short have had too much time to sit around and think......

I still remember the cover of Motor Mag years ago and reading about a 4lt T and thinking, f*(king awesome!

Only took me about 8 years to get to this point.

[Phoontastic]

Roll on the next dyno day at Gentech I say. Sounds like two more willing participants to spread the battle between the general and the blue oval.

Yellow will definitely beat it.
