so then for a turbo ... u can then get even more power with the money u save ... u just dont' get the sound of a v8 ... but u get the blow off sound ... btw how much power do them v8 supercars have??

[GFXman]

the v8 supercars are about 650hp... but they are also only about 1200kg thats about the same as a 180sx!

You wouldn't really save much money over 250rwkw as you basically 'should' pull the motor down and slap a set of forged pistons in there. So there goes the money you save from not having to open up the motor.

The only time I like the sound of the blow off valve is when it is kind of half open when doing a burnout and you are playing with the throttle..

GFXman.. How is the power band in Jaffa's commodore? Does it bog down a little with lowish rev's?

I found with my VS that it was really quite gutless and did nothing below 3000rpm.

then whats the diff between v8 supercar and what u get at the shop .. engine wise ... ??

[GFXman]

His car is quite good considering, however getting launches down is VERY hard. it breaks traction easily but can also bog down. Just a matter of getting it all just right. Same with any car i suppose. The power band is awesome though - torque at hand in any gear.

The supercars dont even use stock engines. They are barely falcons/commodores - the shell is about the only thing they use
