    Forget the stock power quotes - imagine the potential from cheap bolt-on modification!

    The 300Kw C4B Callaway motor was dropped into the HSV VX SV300. From memory the engines were shipped from the states and were hand built by the Callaway boys.

    Here's a quote from the ls1 forums re: the C4B motor.

    The changes included a specific camshaft, upgraded valve springs and titanium valve spring retainers, stainless steel intake and exhaust valves, revised cylinder head porting and combustion chamber modifications, and a specific, larger bore machined throttle body. The throttle body is the easiest identifier for the engine, as it is anodised bright red. Additional marking is also evident on the cylinder heads, where the C4B designation is machined into the head, on the exhaust port face. The swept volume of the C4B LS1 engine is unchanged from the LS1 engine, although, due to the combustion chamber modifications the compression ratio has been lowered slightly to 9.95:1. This gives improved engine performance across the entire speed range, as it allows more spark advance, due to less knock sensitivity, to be calibrated into the engine, particularly at low to medium engine speeds. The HSV C4B LS1 engine uses a high flow induction system, that does not require a Mass Air Flow Meter, and incorporates this with the optimised Cold air Induction System, a Low Restriction Exhaust System (including a specific, straight through design rear muffler) and an Optimised Engine Management System. These improvements allow the engine to develop 300kW at 6,000 rpm and 510 Nm at 4,800 rpm.
