That's still $500 off the other quotes I've had done, that's really impressive!

If your pushing it that hard just go 9" after you break a couple of borgies you will end up going 9" and wishing you just did it to start with unless you plan on changing your gears every 15-20 passes

You can get the Harrop centre in 31 spline if you ask nicely. **** info to have now, but for anyone else playing it is certainly possible.

You can still weld and brace the tubes. A couple of persistent borgy people I know have had success like that.

Yeah I think realistically once I start with diff hats, harrop centres etc.. and strengthening the tubes its going to work out the same price or more expensive than a 9". What panhard rod can you run with a 9" in a commodore?

Quick question..u guys know ur stuff. what is a good price to a remove and refit a rb30t in a vl commoodore??. Been getting quotes between $1,000-1,500. Seems a bit pricey.

Labour, $100 an hour. Go from there...

I'd pay between 300-500 depending on work involved - ie wiring, removing exhaust etc.

I found that on the most recent fullboost videos that there is a VN with 28 spline borgy and 416ci LSA engine with transbraked glide with 255 ET radials going a best of 9.25 and 163mph.
