    Default power made by vn with cop chip?

    my mate has just bought a 91' VN V6 with VX SS rims and a police chip for $2500. in great nick and goes like a bat out of hell, but im a bit skeptical of the price. anyway. he took me for a spin today and it really hammers, the pick up on it is insane! im wondering if anybody can tell me how much power a stock vn 3.8 makes and how much is added when the coppers put their chips in? thanks in advance

    There is no such thing as a police chip mate.

    Its got great pickup because its a VN Faster than the VR's you are used to.

    the car will actually slow down when the police put their chips in due to the extra weight of the chips, paper, salt & vinegar.

    do a search for "Cop Chip".

    interesting the cop chip phenomenon...

    I used to work with a bloke who claimed the same thing.

    He had a crapped out VN with 350,000 on it.

    He could still do a burnout at 3/4 throttle....

    He went over the quarter mile and was a little embarrased (16.4)

    I've stated before and been told that i'm wrong but i still think that first gear is a different ratio from a vn to a vs. My vn would do 60 in first while my vs would do 70. I might be wrong but vn at least feel like first is different.

    Yea ino what u mean, the VS will go an extra 10-15km in first compared to a a VN.

    The most ive pullled outta mine was just b4 65km n my mates would go just that lil bit more b4 shifting.

    There would have to be a small difference in the ratio for that much of a difference.

    mmm ok well i guess youve convinced me. his vn would be making the same amount of power as mine because theyre the same engine, so 130kw right?

    WRONG!

    You've got a heap of tings that affect power-

    Engine Age (relats to 2nd)
    Engine Condition
    Last Service
    Gear Box's
    Gear Box conditions
    Tail shaft conditions
    Diff condition
    Joint condition

    To list a few...

    Then theres speed-

    weight
    suspension
    all of the above
    gear rations

    etc.........

    nah, a cop chip is when there isn;t anything wrong with your ride and they walk around witha night stick and "chip" your tail lisghts so there a defect...

    aZk.
    Wanted to buy:

    1. T5 V8 Bellhousing and Clutch fork assembly suit VP
    2. V8 Tail Shaft, T5, Suit IRS VP
    3. T5 VB Gear Box

    PM Me if you got what i need...

    You should have about 5 kw more than him, if the unofficial holden archive isn't lying.

    stock vn make 125kw but they still have the quickest 0-60 to date ( including ALL alloytecs ) so they do have great pickup.
