So everything's all done and dusted, got the car back last night from paramount performance in Toowoomba (great guys to deal with Terry really knows his stuff when it comes to GM V8s) and I'm super super happy with it.

It ended up making 264rwkw/355rwhp (through an auto with a slippy converter) the car sounds completely off it's head I love it so much. Ended up just putting in a new cam, pushrods, valve springs,double row timing chain and getting it tuned, and it made a huge difference (80~ rwkw difference)

Now where's bunta to convert the tractive effort to NM properly? I bet shes putting down some impressive torque for "only" 260 KW

sounded sick in the vid too Nick! Uber jelly!

Thanks man, yer the video really dosent do it justice just ask Tom he was sitting behind the car today lol

But yer no idea how much torque it made, is very nice to drive,after around 4g it's just a smoke show though lol

That's impressive for that old LS! Bet you're a happy man! You gonna squeeze some more out of her?

Not for a while, maybe some spray later on but for now it goes well... Has no grip ever lol

Too hard, the gearbox and diff are unfamiliar to me.

Nice result Nick!

    • Wanted to clean the film behind the triple gauge so the lights show through better.  Progress so far….
    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
