    Handling issues!!

    Vibration ?? V6-96 VS

    Provided the drive shaft universals and centre bearing O.k; I strongly suggest you replace the rear suspension upper trialing arm bushes with low compliance polyurethane units. It will fix the problems. I have cured many Commodores with this fix. The heavy duty polyurethanes will eliminate...

    poor dyno result

    Hi John, I have just been reading bits and pieces of your concern with power output. I haven't had much Just Commodores time lately, so I do not know the full storey. I do agree that that your 123rwkw is certainly on the low end of the power table. (I assume that the dyno was a Dyno...

    cam for VS

    Yea, there is no question that once ya start changing camshafts everything does start to become expensive. I do agree that the fitment of a stage 2 camshaft kit will probably leave you disappointed as the best output you can expect is approx 125 rwkw. I have fitted a stage 3 Crow camshaft to...

    Realising V6 Performance Potential

    Hey Holden Man I appreciate your reply & time taken to express your views & ideas. Its interesting to hear that the rear inside wheel is lifting on hard cornering, that is usually a problem with vehicles that are fitted with an oversize rear sway bar. As the sway bar is connected to both...
