    VT 5 Litre will not break traction

    Being a auto with a Lsd would make it hard to spin, the 6 probably has a single spinner making it easier to spin. A super charger would be the go and a set of gear drives would be nasty, The k/watts might not be much diff but the torque should be fairly noticeable

    How do I make my vx quiet for wof?

    Any automotive screw should be coarse enough to screw tight in the pre drilled hole, just drill the hole smaller than the srew like a pilot hole

    How do I make my vx quiet for wof?

    Yes pre drill the hole on one side of exhaust, the screw is only there to stop the chicken wire from coming out, it's only a small hole and being close to the tail pipe shouldn't make any difference. You can put a dot a weld there or just leave a short screw in it to rust itself on there.

    How do I make my vx quiet for wof?

To remove the wire simply take the screw out and rev up the motor, the wire will shoot out the exhaust The more chicken wire you use...
