215kW at the rears. Stockish RB25DET - Link G3, big cooler, zorst, FF plenum and pod filter are the only mods.

Took mine to John at Spec performance(ch ch)Just under 200kw at the flywheel or 146kw at the rear.Quite happy with her being reasonably stock(rebuilt) to factory HDT specs. I can reconmend him to everyone in the south Island.His dyno is a 4WD one,Sound proof and temp controlled. Cheers Marty

My old GTS was 178kw/238hp at the wheels running 10psi, front mount intercooler and standard RB30ET. My brothers VL Calais was 205kw and 750nm at the wheels running a 5.7l injected V8 with twin throtts.

yeah that seems to be most peoples goal. i think mine will be around the 300kw at the moment with having been converted to manual after it was tuned but yeah ill wait and see what its got after a new trans , some more boost and finishing off the tune

I reckon around 250-300rwkw in a VL street car is about right. Any more is pointless and too hard to enjoy on the streets
