Fibreglass tends to rub more and not seal as well. the alloy OTRs settle to about 2 degrees above ambient when cruising. (Logged data on road tests) the Fibre glass otrs dont seems to run as cool. Both alloy and fibre glass otrs become a restriction over 300kw @ wheels though. Quote: Originally Posted by ideatu yer well my goal is a 12.9 or realy low 13s n ill b happy. Easy, My brothers VY Berlina went 12.8 with stock diff, cat back only 2.5 inch, otr, road tune full tank of fuel, no weight reduction and 3200 stall

Curious if there any good!! Prices seem okay.. Be carefull about what you are told. I spoke to a owner of a monaro yesterday that was promised 320 + at the wheels with a cam and valve spring upgrade on a standard car with a set of headers and and OTR... No WAY! Maybe 280 if the correct cam was used but knowing the guy who feed him the bull 5h1t it would be the wrong cam. (this info was given by a Very well known workshop too)
