lookin for a few different combos for my 5ltr vt for some good results down the 1/4 any posts appreciated...
if your not looking to go for twin throttle bodys i would recomend a stage 3 crow cam,have all of your valves reseated and bronze valve guides tougher valve springs semi solid lifters
unless your going for big horse power dont worry about doing the ports and over sized valves because those heads flow arround 470hp standard
with that cam you will need a hi stall
hope this is a help
Stato on the inside, berlina on the out side,5ltr under the bonnet,stockies all round...........that thing has to be a sleeper

or sell the car and get a gen3 setup, this way you can make alot more power for alot less money![]()

It not worth it in a VT, the car is still worth something to sell. Sell it and get a gen III, you'll be forever fighting against the weight of the car otherwise. It will end up lots cheaper that way. I have a VP but I'd never attempt to make it a 12 second car with the 5 liter because of the costs involved. In a few years time it will be a very cheap job to put a gen III in a VP for instant low 12's or high 11's anyway so I'll just wait if I want to go that fast (but I think 13 will be enough go fast for me anyway)
thanx for the posts guyz ani 1 knoe much bt nos setups on the 5ltr's was told would b in d 12's easy is true or is pullin me chain oh and does ani 1 knoe wat the stock output on the 5ltr is
ur stock output was 175kwts.
if ur after a simple 'cheap' mod then that will tie u over for now then get a good exhaust system and extractors. that will bring u up to 190kw's +. maybe even a cam to see you over the 200kwts.
as many people have said a gen 3 will be the cheeper option, but there are still quite a few tough 5 ltrs out there and not everybody wont's/likes a gen 3.
ur best bet with the 5lt would be a supercharger kit and cam swap. that way u'll be able to net between 250 and 300 kwts.
but there not cheep.
