boy did we read hsv's mind or what!

$100k and in the GTS only.

430 at the fly, so what? 350 odd rwkw... that's pretty fkn good for a stock car... but still less than a tuned FPV 5.0

But a tuned GTS... Hmmmmmmmmm

But a tuned GTS... Hmmmmmmmmm

looks aids...

I'd rather the GT

either way, we dont know what the ancillary devices will withstand yet... they may be tunable to like 600kw... or they might blow up at 431

I don't mind the look of them.

its aids man....you can't take an old model, slap new style headlights and shit on it and expect it to look good...you now have a curvy front and rear end on a car that is still box shaped in the middle its ridiculous....Just like the VT it was ugly, they upgraded to vx and it looked a little better....because the lights were still round and suited its all round style...

then...

in anticipation of the new VE ,they created the VY-VZ by slapping square headlights and triangle taillights on what was still a curvy VT body..it looked f**king horrible...Luckily for Holden most people are blinded by the abnormally larger thing under the bonnet and don not realize how blatently lame their styling cues are...

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
