    Default VZ Calais v8

    So .... Im thinking about throwing some power at her!
    Who reading heas either had there ls1 tuned? How noticable was the power increase? or a small/mild cam put in? How did that effect daily driving. This is her.
    Cleaned her up and playing with the I phone Camera. Boys and there toys.

    Fit an OTR (over the radiator) intake and get a decent "mafless" tune and gain 10-20rwkw easily.
    I had Steve from Oztrack supply one of his mail order tunes and the car was awesome, infact a few months after I decided to get him to do a full dyno tune and only gained 5rwkw over his initial mail order tune.
    That goes to show how good his mail oreder tune was in the first place.

    Not sure if you've changed the exhaust yet, but that's the first thing to look at before a tune. The tune won't pick up as much power if you still have the stock exhaust on. The factory tune is actually quite good on the VZ's though - when i had my Calais done the tuners were surprised at the numbers it pulled with just extractors and exhaust changed before they even touched the tune.

    It does have a Remus Exhaust system, so OTR intake and a tune looks to be the best bang for your buck?

    haha I would love too! And throw a manual into her, but the conversion seems to be too much work, and not enough information about it.
