HEy PPL,just a quick question, i own a VT clubsport and its standard except for the exhaust..I was thinking bout buying one of those CAPA Superchargers and whackin that on it. Would this be a silly move on my behalf seeing that the engine is standard or can it handle it with ease..? It only be running round 5psi.. http://www.capa.com.au/kits_holden_genpd.htm . I'll be lookin round 4 grand for one of these... If anyone knows of a company thats specialises in superchargers in the Newcastle area that could match this deal could you please let me know...

The GEN-PD kit for the $4000 is great value, but it kind of stops there.

Best thing to do would be to look into the GEN-T GEN-T1000 kits.

Another question guys, i was lookin into gettin some pacemaker extractors and the guy reckons round $750 fitted,is this good? Also he said something bout Hurricane extractors are way better then Pacemaker..The only difference he reckons is that the pacemakers have mandrel bends....Everyone i know who owns a LS1 went with Pacemakers, Anyone out there who has the Hurricane extractors could you drop us a line and let me know what you think of em?

I personally like defilipo's, just a brand name thing i guess, for $750 sounds ok, but what exactly are they? tri y's?

Actually over the 1/4 a good charger will do you alot better.

Maybe to start with, have zorst and cam done, then a tune to match, wont have much hassle looking at the 300rwkw mark. All for about $7000 maybe less. You could go forced induction, but then you have to ook at doing driveline etc..

Why waste 9k on the capa setup when you can go the Gen-T 1000?
