Hi there, i know i am going to get a lot of haters here but i really want to find out...
I'm not really one for power or extreme performance, i'm happy with how my vt 6 is.

I am wanting to get that whine sound the same as a gilmer drive or similar, from my understanding they dont make gilmer drives for the ecotec 6's and same with straight cut timing gears... just wondering if there is something similar to these things that will achieve this whine... or some possibility of changing a pulley or something i'm not sure what but thought i'd ask. I'd rather not spend $5000 on a raptor s/c when i get off my p's to achieve the sound i want ( even though i would love the power it would then have) but just wondering if there is anything i can do....

P.S if you dont have anything positive to say, don't start trolling and saying **** such as "don't be a fag, get a charger" try and be helpful if you can't be then don't comment, Cheers

Hmmm...
This is difficult.

smash a bearing in your harmonic balaner might give you a whine.

Just did a quick google search, theres a guy who has a gilmer kit on a VP V6, but I can't find any for an ecotec.
