    If you are going to stay with those way too big injectors get it tuned quick or you will end up ruining your block.
    Because they are running rich they will wash the oil from your bores accelerating the wear between piston rings and bores.
    The twin TB's look horn but a bigger single would have made just as much outright hp unless your running a large cam and big exhaust, both not good with auto trans.

    iv got a tune for the green tops now. Its runing heaps better, But if u boot it from a stand still it still splutters before it takes off. Iv got a second tune for the TTB's but its not as sharp on the shifts as id like. So rather than killing my $3k gearbox im leaving the single ttb on till i get some more work done. I might wack them on for shows etc though.
    Driving with the TTB's on and shifting manually is awesome though, it picks up like crazy and is a little too happy in first gear.

    nah, i found the calais unexciting to drive. It was comfy, has **** loads of gadgets to break and was smooth and quiet. But **** was it boring to drive.

    I picked up a new SV6 in Silver

    Nice, no offence but you went from a slightly worked VS V8 to a 190kw v6 VE, not much extra thrills?

    VEs are awesome dont get me wrong, im tired of seeing a VE every 5th car lol

    the vs was a v6, it had stuff all power compared to the ve. The ve is heaps faster and responds better to breaking and acceleration and the turn in is as sharp as an emo's razor
