    Spark ignition is the term... what a pedantic lot we have here, Rajeesh in his element.

    Sheesh Rajeesh just back away when you get something completely wrong instead of trying to prove yourself worthy. You are chopped liver.

    No More Holden V8s

    I agree, most people here should forget the fuel argument. The No. 1 inefficiency is not fuel but the cost of ownership - cars are used for less than 1 hour a day, for a utilisation rate of less than 4%. This has not changed materially in over 100 years. With increasing computing power behind...

    No More Holden V8s

    Power density, there's a good thread mentions that somewhere here... Which NA V8 from Euro land and Ford is smaller yet more power? Do you mean specific output? I respectfully disagree. GM's main trick as seen in L99 and GenV is discreet implementation of throttleless operation and Atkinson...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Umm... since mid 2009 when AFM lifters made by Delphi all share same lifter ticks and misc. rattles, as well as same catastrophic cam face / lifter roller issue. Not a fan of basically the same thing as an L77 with just two pubes on the cam lift and across the bore, too much hoo-ha about it...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Yes apart from the slightly used vs new case, there is also that of OEM+, where used is neither modified poorly nor to an extreme but rather choc full of important and proven bolt-on upgrades like brakes, suspension, transmission and engine breathing / longevity tweaks such that it is undeniably...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    OK most Redlines with bolt-ons do around 5s, still not much in it.

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    I dont follow you, the performance is almost exactly the same auto vs auto. Do you mean 0-100 is now 0.1s faster, well thats easily done in the software but yes i heard the VFII Redline has different diff gears vs previous. I'd stick with the more efficient one and tune it a bit.

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Its only 34fwkw, and yes the LS3 is 240rwkw. Its almost exactly the same but a more efficient engine. Only practical difference is 0.040" lift and same larger bore. To put that in perspective that's a little over two pubes wide. Or another way if you only did those mods to a 6.0 would you really...

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Apparently no but i see your point. Not worth much thought really, 20rwkw snd more fuel and emissions is hardly a selling point.

    The New Commodore VFII is Coming

    Meh... The old 6.2 engine is hardly 20rwkw different to the 6.0 one we cobbled up (220rwkw since VEII vs 240rwkw VFII). $600 gets your 6.0 vitals on par with OTR (or discreet rocker and spring swap) no tune required. Much better fuel economy and emissions before and no need to build a hearing...

    Did anyone ask PIR4TE for a technical explanation of what he did to the Black Pearl to make over 600bhp and 30mpg? Seems a huge call.

    No drone Sports Exhaust VE SS Auto L98

    Its not Australian made. The HSV bi-modals for $300 a pair, $600 full HSV system is Australian. Couple mufflers with this NPP in a Box ORDER NOW and for about half price you have an exhaust which is an Aussie / US alliance.

    Quietening Down my 2.5" Difillipo Bi-Modal

    Either the module is programmed incorrectly or vacuum is incorrect, or the muffler itself is not designed to be two-stage and the diaphragm valve just blocks off one exhaust vent. Wouldn't surprise me, most performance shops are doing that these days, total sham. Take it back.

    GTS-R a reality, gets LS9

    Its the magic bits inside like special valves, heads, cam, pistons, rods, crank plus a dedicated lubrication system... not just the 2300. This beauty is engineered for more power and built to handle the serious work. Devil is in the detail, good value at $22k versus hotting up a $13k LSA...

    Vf engine oil

    Thicker oil does not mean better film strength, that guy sounds like a TV ad echoing from the 70s. It likely means more drag and heat and less protection. Less noise I would guess, but the purpose of lubricating an engine is not just to flood tolerances and be quiet? The direction of lubricant...

    Best mods on a low budget

    Obviously you need to be careful with your coin. Do the OTR and tune definitely. Hit budget, get the biggest BFYB available. Decent headers and cats will cost same again down the track when you can afford it, but same tuner will tweak the new custom OS for a few hundgy if you do the deal to...

    FATSSV - Charged, cammed, bagged and "stanced"

    Sure this is one thread which has the direct contact for Andy at ADM ADM FPCM - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com but Google ADM FPCM and look for the SS Camaro (e38) solution for FI. Company is ADM Performance.

    FATSSV - Charged, cammed, bagged and "stanced"

    Perhaps worth a look into ADM's boost referenced FPCM mod for your existing fuel setup? Good for over 500rwkw on ID850s.

    LS Lifters, replace or not?? 100,000km+ cam install

    Did 180k km stock cam, you need to replace lifters and trays after 100k when changing cam. Cheap insurance.

    Vf engine rattle

    As above, you can stuff decent industrial soundproofing under the engine cover (turtleback) without affecting the look, and or buy an acoustic blanket to lay over the engine bay.

    Xforce 2.5inch exhaust

    Easy answer to idle is the target speed is 550 rpm, actual depends on other modifiers like AC, alt load, in gear or park / neutral, coolant temp and barometric conditions.

    Hold onto your money

    In mechanical terms at least an LS3 is higher comp, more lift and lighter intake valves makes for more HP at higher RPM, more basic than the L99 but slightly better power with 20yo no brainer mods. Suited to a manual gearbox.

    Who has the best 98 RON Fuel

    Optimised for ethanol, still flex capable 0%-100% of either fuel fraction, possibly down to 91 RON. Key to optimising fuel flexibility is to build turbo-like BMEP capability (15bar) and manage compression / displacement in the tune with VVT. Most benefits of using ethanol flex fuel happen at...

    Who has the best 98 RON Fuel
