    go to holden, and just tell them. btw, u dont need the shroud, just use pvc piping, works just the same, just paint them black, it will look stock

    If you are so concerned about warm air (warmist?) do the mod in the picture below or go solar.

    na, just put in 2 90mm pvc pipes painted black facing forward, once u get moving, the air underneath the bonnet will be sucked downwards and replaced with cool air anyways

    There's a nice increase in Torque from 3000rpm. Not a shitload but noticable.
    Overtaking a truck at 60kmh. Foot flat down. drops to 2nd and wheel spins past the truck.
    You can hear a slight sucking noise too
    Never use to loose traction like that.

    search 2 hole mod in google, there is a comprehensive guide on how to do it. for more cold air, go to holden and buy what is called a 'monaro cold air intake shroud', which esentially allows you to block the whole front of the airbox from the warm engine bay heat. heard good things with the v8's, however, not as much increase as an OTR. and when you do buy an OTR, buy a good one like the GM Ramjet, which can be used with a maf, or another one called DUSPEED, which looks shmick.
