hey all just been talkin to a engine builder that i know an he recons the following will get a vn 5l into the high 12s...... i have my doubts but maybe possible with some slicks or sumfin....?
pacemaker COMPETITION headers (the big ones)
twin cat 3 inch mandrel bend zorst
crow cams stage 3 cam and memcal package(custom tune not necessary)
shift kit
4.11:1 diff gears and spool (or lsd, which eva)
wat you think?
I reckon no. It'd run 13's, but not 12's. They ran 15.1 stock, an exhaust, diff gears and cam and chip package wont take over 2 seconds off the quarter mile time imo.. I'd be going a custom tune and custom ground cam anyway, I think the gain would be fairly considerable over the standard Stage 3 package. A brand new HSV GTS with 307kw and 3.73 diff gears only runs mid 13's... Given they are alot heavier, but they have almost double the power and a heap more torque.
