mod ideas for 5litre
hey all just wandering what mods i could do to a 5litre vp
1995 Manual HSV Clubsport
Wade Cam :: 9.2:1 CR :: Pacemaker headers :: Twin 2.5" Exhaust :: VT Brakes
1991 Supercharged VN Berlina
9 PSI SC14 Intercooled :: Genie headers :: Twin cats :: HM Twin 2.25 exhaust :: 3.45:1 LSD
In order of cost vs speed gains
Tune, by far the best cost vs performance
Cold intake
Twin Exhaust with X pipe
Camshaft
Manifold
Headers
At the end of those you will be at 200 rwkw+ if you get everything right

10 Hours labour? Probably about $900 if labour is $90 an hour, but can be up to $110.

Plus the cost of a cam, plus you would be silly not to do head gaskets etc whilst the engine is apart.
Why not ring a few mechanics instead of asking a question that will get 10 different answers on here?

Most mechanics won't do it in three hours, most mechanics have other cars to work on too
Plus, engine apart, gaskets etc done and cam in, dialled in etc etc etc and all back together in three hours? Not likely.

i can do a cam i 3-4 hours and i am mechanic
no need to have heads off mate
For external use only
The day I find a mechanic that charges for three hours' labour to change a cam, is the day I stop doing my own work on the driveway.

No shit, but most mechanics wouldn't do it in 3 hours. Working on it solid or not.

yea but there dumb shits you just have to take the intake off lift the block up slide in and out
(that is holden mechs)
uless you want new bearings
the slide newy in new lifters
may need new rods
then put back together
LS-EXUAL
Yeah that's if you JUST put the cam in. Most people do new head gaskets etc and freshen it up a little.
Sorry Cobez for the inconvenience.
Just about every post on here could be solved by doing as you ask.
It was just a passing thought and besides I dont think there are any mechanics open right now.
I will think more about my post next time.
Cheers
