I think my vl would dust the doors on my mums 3.6l vz , the vl has a 2 1/2" ex and the ex sensor disconnected ,any known 1/4 mile times between the 2 models?

i'm looking for a bit more performance out of this car as i've built some strong v8's, and like to get the best without spending much, so anyone know a set of 4.11's i can put in this car?

I think the vz will dust you much newer more powerfull refined motor, whats the "ex sensor"?

Im assuming 'ex'=exhaust and 'vl v vz' in the title means VL versus VZ
I also hazard to guess his VL has a V8, but didnt provide any specs.

ahhhhh engrish. sometimes it be hard

you should remember the vl has lower gearing, lighter weight, so it doesn't just come back to engine
the v6 is basically still a buick from the 80's with computor timing/fuel mods

the ex sensor is the exhaust sensor that when disconnected gives more fuel , noticeable .
prob about as good as spending $300 on a 10kw chip

By "Exhaust Sensor" do you mean 02 sensor?

How is an overhead cam, alloy engine "basically still a buick"??

VZ Calais LS1 / VL RB30e daily
must be RB30 as the 304's were still carb'd

The V6 in the VZ models are a totally new design from earlier emotec/buick motors

Although full of lols

so ur disconnecting ur 02 sensors? so it runs rich as prob fouling all your plugs ect, getting a tune would be much better then unplugging sensors id say
