    Default horsepower

    Hi , just wondering , my vs/v6 had a rebuilt motor put in just before i bought it , i believe they had an advertised 147kw new , on the car was installed a boss cold air intake and a brand new set of genie's running to a single system , they are the only mods i know of, what do you's reckon these to additions are worth ?, maybe 15 to 20 kw?. car runs great , equall to my mates vr v8 easy i reckon

    Down below 100k's hour and if the 8 is stock it will probably hold it. I know at oran park the ecotec sedan could hold close to me until about 100km/h, but i run stock 3.08 diff in a heavy wagon though.
