    Rated top speed

    im not sure, but you could probably work out the maths, based on gear ratio. so lets say in forth with 3.07 gears at 100kph your doing 1850rpm. use that to work in out, factor in rev limiter, whatspeed your car changes from 3rd to 4th, etc.

    Teen arrested for listening to rap music.

    Unfortunately I believe that this will turn into one of those laws that is defined by "personal desecration", same as those controlling the defect laws. What one officer of the law will find offensive another may not, and at what point does this stop before "offensive behavior" is a new excuse...

    Torque issues

    im thinking that the car really just needs a good mechanic and/or a really good service/tune up. Plugs, Leads, oil, coolant, temp sensors and oxy sensors, trans service, THE WORKS.

    Torque issues

    yeah its pretty normal for a car to feel a little less "goey" when the ac is on. On the crewman its at the front of the tank at the drivers side.

    pretty sure the OP said he was under powered, Not that his ute was so hectik and such a weapon that if he trys to drive his revs bounch on the limiter and before he knows it his tyres are hopping all over the place

    Torque issues

    try the fuel filter, thats pretty good economy though, but im guessing mid range torque is ok so its no surprise. Take a few moments to put the car up on stands, place the car in neutral, and with teh hand brake off, move around each of the wheels and spin them. They should have very little...

    out of interest? why would you want this to happen? I honestly dont know, im not asking a smart arse quesetion

    Torque issues

    When was your last major service? old plugs and leads, clogged fuel filter, dirty injectors, low compression, poor fuel quality will contribute to all of these. What fuel economy are you getting?

    [LS1] Mafless Tune Problem

    If your south east make the trip to Carrum Downs, Chevs automotive is where you want to go. Gary will look after you BIG time. He is the only one that I trust with my car. Iv not really heard good things about HP-F in terms of LS1, and AVO i dont think do tuning. The LS1 tune doesnt give...

    unsure about new chip

    im really confused about this post. For someone that has been can say will do more for the car than to get a re mapped tune seems to sound inexperienced. Granted it will do a little, but not as much as advanced timing, and improved AFR. All base holden tunes can be improved on, so im a...

    I cannot answer for all of your questions. But my responses are in red. But for a non believer, go get one and go for a drive

    VS 5L doing my head in???????????????

    as above, also replace the crank angle sensor. I dont know if the 5l run an air intake temp sensor, but i know the later model cars wont run without it, or if its faulty. Check all terminations at the fuse box and anything other cable thats been changed or lengthened. Check rotor button etc.

    auto clutch slipping

    upgrading the trans is a good idea. The standard trans's seem to die in the ass around 130,000kms if you drive them with a little spirit. Iv had by trans rebuilt with wider kevlar bands + clutches, beast sun shell, larger boost valve, billet steel servo's and better solenoids. I was told it...

    [VT-VX] + VY How to disable Traction Control (ETC)

    removing the MAF without having the vehicle tuned to run without the MAF will definitely effect cruise control, thats if the car will run at all. If The Vehicle has a "mafless" tune then the tuner may have disabled traction control.

    what does the ecu learn after you reset it?

    iv been told there are small gains to be had, last time i re-set the ecu i ****ed my shift points and the shifts went back to being weak and sluggish like before i had it tuned. After a week they went back to normal. Thats pretty much my only input

    exhaust system

    firstly, what do you mean for a warranty? personally if put a nice small twin system on it, maybe twin 2.25" inch, something fairly quiet. But thats my thoughts.

    Chev's Performance Centre - Carrum Downs Victoria Now a chip upgrade is pretty much just old talk for a tune. Go down to Chevs, or give them a call. Talk to Gary (owner and tuner) Im sure he will recommend a 1 bar mafless tune. This will be conducted on his Dyno Dynamics Dyno. I believe he...

    Which one of these exhausts ?

    i have a pex one on the adventra. It cops a beating, sounds good, isnt too loud, is well made and easy to fit. As for the poor x-pipe. I dont think its a true x-pipe, in that it only welds together and not flows between the 2 banks. Either way, i love mine. Being mild steel it wont last...
