(apart from sound from exhaust obviously)A few I've dragged have had that kinda stuff and still pretty slowMight as well go all out and get a big cam or boost with the holdens it seems?Would make more of a difference on the LS3 (Clubsport) motors than the LS2's (SS's). OTR, exhaust and tune nets a gain from around 270 stock to around 325fwkw on the LS2, but on the LS3 it'd get you up to the 375fwkw mark. 1.9L blower kits will net you up around the 460fwkw mark, 2.3L kits around the 500fwkw (400rwkw)...which is getting towards the upper end of what the auto gearboxes can handle. Rest of the driveline can handle up to around the 480rwkw mark.The biggest difference between mine and Arron's car is that his it tuned and he's changed his diff ratio, which makes it quicker on takeoff. His definitely feels quicker underfoot than mine. Obviously we'd both get smoked by XR6T's or Miami powered cars with mods though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 28d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 23/12/14 11:33 AM Share Posted 23/12/14 11:33 AM Always a bit hesitant to say what my SS (6.0L Auto) makes power wise as I haven't run it down the strip so no mph to back it up.. Cozdynowarriors.. But Duspeed OTR, 1 7/8th headers, 3" zorst, Higgins Heads and Cam.. on two dynos it's scored 328rwkw and 335rwkw.. First was Dyno Dynamics second was mainline.. Dyno sheet in the glove box tells me that prior to cam and heads with just OTR and full exhaust saw only 255 rwkw on Dyno Dynamics dyno..With cam it's making power around 5400-5500 RPM.. That's apples to lemons with forced induction..What I do know..A) it's f*cking loudB) it's f*cking loudC) it's f*cking loudD) it gets flogged by P platers in 4 cylinders daily coz I don't drive like a fecking maniacE) it's f*cking loudF) it gets flogged by turbosG) it fits my golf clubs and cart in the boot easily.H) my 2 year old loves daddy's vroom vroom car.. I) it really needs a cleanJ) Realistically I don't need anything faster than that for what I use the car for.. K) my next car will be a Subaru again.. Or a Mustang.. Porn on wheels there.. Does it really bloody matter though?I love reading what people have done to their cars on this forum.. Been a ford man born and raised.. But I also love what people do to their holdens.. And no matter Ford or Holden.. I dislike NA 6's.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to go balls deep on mods on my XR6T until I started to have the electrical problems with it..Then work car for so long..I technically own and drive daily an illegally modified car which doesn't get a second glance as I won't put the bloody 20" rims it came with on it and just run 18" stockies.. I even got the rear mufflers replaced with stock units (effectively choking the car) so I can drive it without attracting too much attention..I think cammed and stalled V8 autos are oinkers around town.. But it's a lovely car on the highway.. Edited 23/12/14 11:44 AM by Never had any say Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
