Go ahead with the SS badges,you will reap the benefits.
I have put SS badges and the kit on my VE Omega and when I go cruising and rev it past the girls.........well what can I say,they have drool running down their face.I chuck a U-turn and they say ''Nice car'' and I say ''It's an SS,jump in''.
I think they mean the smoothness and refinement of the rb30 is better than the alloytec. v6's take allot of work and development to be smooth because they are rough running type of engine.
