    Default whats an approx power figure???

    hello, like most i have just about ompeted the breathing stage of my vn v6
    CAI
    Custom pod box/heat sheild
    K&N Pod
    stainless steel intake pipe
    V8 Throttle body polished to within an inch of it's life,
    polished and smooth elbow
    bellmouth removed
    Genie extractors
    Redback cat back zorst (2.5") with rear muffler fitted (redback item)

    now what, like probally alot of other people (in relation to simular mods), what i was wondering is what sort of power would this pull at the rear wheels, i aint got 70bucks to take it and get it dynoed so i am after a rough estimation, oh the motor has done 170000 and it's an auto
    cheers lads and gents

    That could vary alot depending on how good the motor was to start with. I'll take my guess at anywhere from 110 to 125rwkw

    Trouble with the 5 liter is you never know what you are going to get, could be a stock calais at 15.5 or a 12 second executive : )

    Got a pic of the intake pipe?
    Does the V8 throttle body bolt straight on to the V6 manifold adaptor or do u need a V8 one? Does it all match up without the need for machining?

    it's basically the exact same TB except that the butterfly on the 6 is 60mm and the 8 is 65mm, but other than that they even look exactly the same, so yeah it's a strait bolt on plug in
