diffrence its one of those mental gains i believe. i made it expecting to not really make much gains so i reckon its didnt make much gain. i really should of dynoed the car before i took it off the road but didnt get around to it. i would be hoping for 100rwkw atleast but if i was to make 110rwkw ill be over the moon, and anymores is just a bonus when its back on the road one of the first things im doing is getting it dynoed as its bugging me to know Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanks Fitty. yeah i did everything myself, the heat shield is made from 1.6mm aluminium sheet. its not staying like that though i have thought up a better design. also making a heat shield for the extractors and a radiator cover while i'm at it. should look good when done. i'll get some pics up when its finished (1 month or 2 probably) Quote: Originally Posted by legal6 diffrence its one of those mental gains i believe. i made it expecting to not really make much gains so i reckon its didnt make much gain. i really should of dynoed the car before i took it off the road but didnt get around to it. i would be hoping for 100rwkw atleast but if i was to make 110rwkw ill be over the moon, and anymores is just a bonus when its back on the road one of the first things im doing is getting it dynoed as its bugging me to know 100rwkw isn't easy. a guy i used to live with got 91rwkw with those mods exactly the same as yours but without the intake pipe. if you get 95rwkw i would be surprised Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Here is mine, nothing special atm. have silicon fittings on afm and tb now. have neatened up some wiring since pic. have red neons under plastic stone tray and strobes inside headlights. Made 104.6rwkw without the intake pipe, so would be interested to get another run.http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...0&d=1163746308 (http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=30190&d=1163746308) here is one i took today while I was tinkering (cam phone sorry) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
