Hello Not sarcastic. L98, otr, exhaust, tune will get you between 250-270rwkw, depending on dyno. Add a cam to that you can get anywhere from 300-330rwkw depending on cam and how good the tune is. My money is 310rwkw based on that figure being a common-ish figure for cam only L98's...

^^^ Indeed. If I were a betting man, and I am, Id say you are looking at 300 - 320 rwkw. I put $5 on 310rwkw. K_Man

Call this guy. Brad @ Enhanced Automotive. He has built a billet alloy master, slave and reservoir. I just had the slave put in, but give him a call and he can talk you through what you may be able to do. K_man

The Best Rotors are Alcon, DBA, then the rest by miles.

If the VE could go on an easy diet it would be a great track car. 2 ton is just too much though to track it regularly.

https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/ve-track-car-adventures.241778 Read this. Its everything I've learned so far from tracking my VE SSV.

You could plough $10k into it and still be slower than a Cammed up LS series of car. There is a solid reason everyone goes to V8 commodores to mod. Food for thought.

If you have an early VE, I assure you the clutch issue is alive and well.

Damn good value. Better than the Brembos, for a comparable price. The thing is, once you put 4 piston brakes, you will always think.....should I have gone 6?

Drill away. My car has the 6 pot, and seen track time with no issues.

More air is good in every circumstance (excluding snow driving) until you put too much. The more air is bad, very bad. 36-38 Psi is fint. No need for more than 38, the air in the tyres will heat up as you drive, further increasing pressure.

Man you can buy a Crate LS3 for $7k and possibly get change

I missed the clutch replacement part in post 1. Sorry, was tired. It would then stand to reason then that the slave has gone down in the likelihood of busted component. If you take it to your mechanic and he suggests replacing anything, call Brad first and see if you can get a billet alloy...

Yes, often the slave will be. But from your symptoms, I would say the slave is still the culprit.

Call this guy; From what you're saying it sound like the slave only needs replacing. Its a common problem and only a new slave will fix it. However, a new stock slave will eventually have the same issue, therefore call this guy; Brad @ Enhanced Automotive. Makes CNC Alloy clutch Slave...

Man I love internet shopping.

I doubt there's that many good L98's laying around, if you were going to do a Crate engine I'd go an LS3. Even then thats nearly $9k. VE LS3 6.2 LT CRATE ENGINE If not a new donk then you do have 2 other options; 1) Keep the Block. -ERL Resleeve to 427" - Forged internals. - Win ERL...

Tyres - My 20" wheels at 32psi cold = 41psi hot. So buy yourself a small pump and pressure gauge, let the tyres down when you get to the track and pump them up on the way home. Wheels - Bring 2 spares. I did a sideways drift over the ripple strip last time, busted 1 tyre on the spot, was lucky...

After porting the heads, you've really run out of easy options. Stoke, Turbo, Supercharge is your only option form there. Given the money you need to spend to turbo / supercharge, that could be used on other things to make your car go better. Brakes, suspension, wheels, diff etc.

Go the E1, looks better and you dont need to change as much

So fellas I went to my track day today, some more lessons. 1 - Tyre pressure on 20" wheels. 35psi cold = 42psi Hot. There was a nice chap running a VE GTS there who went down to 30psi on the same size wheels. Said the first few laps were a bit wiggly, but his consistent 1.26 around the track...

Wouldnt be the first time.

ACL! ACL! Only good thing the previous government did

Good info about the Sway Bars, I'll do a bit more research before deciding, in fact some of the info I found is remarkable on how to set up your car, especially with regards to using maths to determine your spring rates and sway bar thickness. Also there is a good free program called Optimum...

Hey all, some seriously good ideas here. Lightening the car is a serious consideration, weight is the enemy with so many things. As time has gone on, I've added heavier wheels and heavier brakes which cant be good. Ill see what parts of the car can easily go on a diet, the rear seats are a good...

Thanks for the Info SV6GUY, I was super pissed my old Harrops didn't last. If my 6 pot Brembos fade, the only kit up is a $15k Alcon. So I'll report back on how they do. I Agree with the suspension, its on the to do list but I am getting married soon and the disposable income isn't what it used...

Hello Everyone. I have a 2006 VE SSV, which I am now going to use solely as a weekender and Track day car. I have started this thread to detail the things I learn along the way, to help others who want to race. Hopefully it will save you the time and money I have spent looking for the optimal...

Redline Brembos are very popular now, and rightly so. Cheap and easy upgrade that gives the user good brakes quickly. I figure, if you're going to do that though, keep going and get the CTS-V 6piston Brembo kit. You'll love it as your passengers face plant the windscreen under hard braking

I Have 1 3/4 Pacemakers. Big Cam. Heads. OTR 340rwkw. No restriction there.

On some freeways they have the check your speed radars. 4 runs @ 110 indicated, real speed was 107 4 times. Handy to know.

Penrite 10W-70. My car has cam, heads etc so that one works quite nicely.

Good to hear. You get what you pay for and Bilstein and H&R are some of the best.

This. Then this VE Oil Pan Baffle - Improved Racing Problem Solved. Speaking to my engine builder a few weeks ago regarding Drifting, Racing and the like, long story short, mate you're on borrowed time already. Low oil pressure kills engines.

Shame, the Zeta Commodores have been the best ever, never mind how good the Zeta Camaro is. We will look back and shake our heads.
