nuthn beats seeing the face of a new monaro 255 owner gettn chewed by a pretty stock r32 gts-t. been there, done that, and just to think.....theyve spent 70 odd grand on that cheaply build aussie shit car. and a note to all you bogans out there, PUSHRODS ARE DEAD!!

I agree with akeenan, if you are in front you have the right to end it! I always stop 10 to 20kms over da speedlimit. But yeah, it's so true how they always speed off into the distance! I always hit hazards if I win, but I might switch to indicators, it's less of an effort!

i thought the Gen III V8 only makes like 225kw... actually i'm pretty damn sure of that. It was nearly 30 kw's less than the 3.2L Straight six M3 .....hahahahha, nice one holden.

what a waste of.... litres and cyclinders and stuff...

My car has all the usual bolt-on mods including a bigger turbo, but not enough for 300rwkw! I'll get there eventually though. See my sig'. There's a few GTS25t's owners here with 300+rwkw.

Very nice! 13.1 in street trim is an awesome time! I am hoping for low 13s after my first round of mods.

Correct 225kw, but they are in fact detuned in stock form they produce 250kw in the US But Holden detuned them for our market. Mind you with just an exhaust and a rewrite of the software with LS1 edit and you are looking at 230rwkw. Not bad for $3k. Also I know of a new 225kw Holden ute that ran consistant 12.2 at EC with only exhaust, LS1 edit and a small cam.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've only ever run in street trim.

It should go a bit quicker again as I've done quite a bit of work & gained a few rwkw since that run.

Hope ya' nail low 13's mate.

I would not be so quick to put down an LS1 powered commodore, i own one a VX berlina( MY tow car) and a R33 GTST, unfortunately currently my LS1 is quicker than my skyline, commy runs a 13.3 with only exhaust , diff gears and tune. The Gtst runs a 13.8 with higher boost exhaust pod filters and chip. Now me and my brother have raced them and the berlina is a good 5 cars quicker from a standing start, of coarse we swapped drivers to make sure and again pulled the same, so what begain as my tow car for my boat has now started to pull funds away from the skyline mod account.

the ls1 is a mean motor. I know there are plenty of fairly slow stock commodores around sporting them, for instance the GTS monaro I hosed this morning on the freeway on ramp. But it doesn't take much to free up the power lurking beneath and there are some very good street weapons just waiting to show a gtst how mortal it is (even if it doesn't look very good doing it).

boys I am an import lover as much as the next. But you guy have got to watch out for the pushrod motor... they are very angry when they are derestricted. remember the quickest "street" cars in australia and america aren't powered by fuel injected, over head cam wizardry... top fuels?? no computers and technology... just top gun performance.... but just the same... I really really love my imports.... they can drive you around australia and then run 11's and that is awsome....

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
