    Well i cant compare it to other V8s i didnt really cain it because still gettin used t it but with cam power doesnt really kick in until about 3,000 rpm + but i think it had some decent pull in it....but it needs a retune was next on my to do list b4 defect...

    But my mate says my clutch is on its way out cos its really hard to push and doesnt have alot of grap.

    The car has been resprayed sometime in its life bar the front it isnt to bad overall....
