apparently those VPs respond pretty well to mods. especially if you swap them for a VL turbo :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I put 500Hp through the std holden IRS diff for quite a while, until it finally spat all the gears out and tore the IRS 'K' frame out of the car. Cheers and good luck!!

Those last 2 posts were the 2 best posts ive ever read on this board. I think you could get near on 200hp out of it for around $1k....and that would just about be enough for the auto to run ok. After that in my opinion it will slip noticeably. At least it's not a VN. VP is where Holden began to regain at least part of my respect....VR was good, VS was better VT sucks my balls VX and Y can go to hell.
