a 12 in an n/a would be an amazing achievement considering. But a 12 is still a 12 and a 12 is not "fast".

Well my car - VL n/a is pushing out around 125rwkw and its fast but not that fast compared to other cars like R32's and R33's. Anyway the place who fitted my aftermarket cam in Brissie called HeadTorque had a 5 speed VL (owned by their apprentice) that was running high 13's at Willowbank. It was stroked to 3.3L. Cheers, JR.

And I'm tipping you N/A supporters haven't been in a decent VLT, because I have changed the minds of people who own 400 chev's after going for a spin. Yep I mean if a old carbie 6 can do it why cant a EFI 6 do the same thing? and im sure to mod a 202 to do those sort of times would cost more than to do it to a RB30. Hell even the old Buick V6 can do it in N/A. I think alot of people under estimate the N/A RB30s too much.I know the RB30ET is a great engine but its not like the RB30E is a different engine altogether.

202's are a fantastic engine and were under-rated by everyone for a long time

If i changed my cam from mild to wild i would crack the 13sec bracket. Ran it a few years ago when i just dropped the engine in behind a 5 speed and i did a 15.1with 110rwkw's on a 42degree day at calder with 17's.
