BTW What mods do you have ???? you never said ??? The reason I asked why you would race it Unsorted is you seemed to be using that as an excuse or somethin for the time it ran...? 12.9 for a 'daily driver' is pretty f ukn good, nothing wrong with that... Im still confused as to why it was "bouncing off the limiter" at 3/4 track? So what youre saying is it had already got to the 105mph trap speed by 3/4 track? Sounds like a potential 120mph car on 5psi untuned.. As far as my mods go, very basic you'd say: T3/T4 Hiflo Haltech E6H, 550cc injectors, 910 pump 600x300x76 FMIC 3" exhaust XF Throttle body on stock inlet manifold Stock exhaust manifold Jatco 4 spd, 2800 stall, standard 3.45 LSD. Im happy with the ET and MPH it ran given the very mild combo it is, no GT35/40, external gate or transbrake auto... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

close this thread. everyone knows v8 turbo is winnar, only trumped by v8 twin turbo. THREAD CLOSED!.

Reason I hit rev limiter 3/4 track is the 4.1 gears I had in it , I wasn't disapointed I just know it had more in it thats all and I hope PSI 05L does race it again !! Thats good to see your combo isn't too wild and the dollars you spent match your E.T. , I just see too many cars with $20K engines that can't break a 10 sec pass that sh...ts me !! Well looks like we alright now !! Good bye from me cos I ain't comin back to this thread !! Kurt Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No worries man, its been um......fun!lol. Cheers, Darren.

You just need to compare some numbers at the track. From my experience for any given ET the Force Inducted car will have the higher MPH over its Aspirated counterpart...unless its on NOS which is another story altogether. Ok then, what is the top speed of you vl (or what have you had it up to?) And i wasnt talking about the quarter mile fool, like i am going to even get close to 180km\h down the quarter with 3.07 diff gears?????? I am talking about a top speed not an Et or anything like that. Basically who gives a rats how bout we all leave it at this #### I'll see you at the line???#### <<<How's that sound??

I don't drive it hard anyway... The only reason I bought a V8 was for the sound and torque. With my stato stock bar geni extractors and supposed chip 205's on 15's are definatly a death trap no worries bout spinnin the straight up 245's on 18's are a bit harder i sort of get a shutter with a few chirps and thats bout it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well all i can say is i have been on both sides ove this argument as a mate ove mine had a VNSS GP A Mock up 5Litre first then a VLT BT1 then another 5Litre VNSS Orig then a Mitsu GSR Turbz then a VQ 5Litre and now has a VLCT ive liked all ove them apart from the GSR and they have been either an 8 or a 6 turbz so id say both jus depends on what ya like

I dont give a f uck about top speed!lol Thats almost purely governed by diff gears mate, although HP helps!... I care about how fast I can get there, and just for your information I got to 185km/h in 12 seconds flat.lol ....... Top speed of my VL? Not sure, my speedo is way inaccurate but if I was really, REALLY stupid and found a long straight stretch of road im sure it'd do near enough to 240km/h if it hadnt got f ukn airborne before then!!!

The 5 litres definately provide more noticable low down torque compared to the LS1s... The LS1s now theyre f ukn 'laggy' on the other hand they do love to rev... __________________ Nothing smart to say... what i have s2 vy ute with only exhaust and monaro air box and no vl turbo has beaten me any where off the lights or at any point. my mate has the rb25 in his and spent 8k on it and he wasnt even with in a car length away. please dont diss ls1 they are made as a family engine and have way more pottential than the rb motors Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bah! EDIT: Bah, bah, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full. One for the master, One for the dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane.

wow this thread is still going............... how pointless if this was in vlt discussion this would of been shut long ago

And I do agree, potential is the word...hang one of those massive GT turbos off one and theyre a weapon as i witnessed at the last street meet at AIR with the LS1 Edit tonner running some strong MPH. I used to work at Metro Holden and drove heaps of them things mate, they did not inspire me one bit, even the 300 GTS felt doughy, having said that they are deceptively quick for the fat boat they are...they just dont have that low down torquey feel to them like a VN SS did and still does. Youve got youself a mid to high 13 second car in that ute...dont kid yourself. Darren. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

a vn ss feels more powerful. how the hell does that work out?

they have more ove a rumbling feel rather than the smoother ls1's now, they feel more powerfull becoz u can actually feel it doin what its doin, itz hard to explain it exactly but im sure sumone on here gets what im talking bout...

Quote: Originally Posted by VN-1986 im sure sumone on here gets what im talking bout... I don't It's got nothing to do with the 'feel'... It's because they have more low down torque so you don't have to rev it high to make it move, whereas with an LS1 you do. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
