    H and I beam rods

    ^^^ I was hoping they would give me a new glory hole in the side of my block... It would be handy to be able to see inside the running motor ;) Just for your info, im not actually building up a Procomp motor... I just know how much 'SilverVH' likes Procomp gear :p

    H and I beam rods

    how will my Procomp H-beam rods go when i am revving my motor to 7500rpm? they told me it will be fine at those revs. I am hoping to make at least 600hp :p

    Doing Up A Vr Commodore

    "Police chip".... lol.. That always makes me laugh haha

    Another ricer that has lost his mind.

    ^^^ Your kidding me, right??? Your comparing a V6 Commodore, to a XR6t??? You really have no idea, do you. A stock V6 Commodore, is slow as ****. A stock XR6t, is pretty quick, compared to alot of others.

    Cheers mate. 383ci is closer to 6.3Ltr (about 6.27, to be precise). But nah, that is more money then i have to spend on the old girl right now, unfortunatly. I might be selling it soon. If not, itll be coming off the road for a long awaited overhaul.

    how much hp 2 will i get from........

    Mate, you have hit the nail on the head... It seems that is the latest craze around sunny Brisbane. I hate those Alteza lights, and there is so many dam P-platers with them, and there fully sik body kits... That dont line up and are a different shade of white to the rest of the car.... With 15"...

    Thought i might come on and update this... The car now has a 3000rpm stall, has run 14.4 @ 94mph on a 35degrees day with a rooted ignition system... So with some 3.45:1 gears, some valve springs (stock springs dont like revving to 5000rpm, let alone 5600-5700rpm lol) and a more agressive...

    Gains From Removing Metal Fan?

    10-15kw??? no way.... i replaced mine with a big davies craig thermo, and it didnt make any noticable difference in power. ive got mine hooked up thru the ECU to come on at a certain temp, and turn off at a certain temp, so it hardly ever comes on. only when sitting in traffic ona hot day. so it...

    nah, sorry, i dont want to seperate them yet. ill see how things go thought and if i decide to seperate, i will let u no. and the gearbox is great. never missed a beat when it was my daily, then the misses had it as the family car, and it was fine.

    my VP SS...

    to be honest, i was expecting similar times, considering the 14.7 was done in summer, and it had traction issues off the line. 60" times are similar, and MPH is very similar aswell. either way, its not fast enough lol
  30. pumba

    quickest NA alloytec

    yea that was pretty impresive what brandan ran on saturday. would be interesting to see if anyone else has ran similar times, or quicker from the same sort of setup as him

    springs are king lows, not sure on part numbers. extractors arent going any where until the motor is out. sorry mate, but i dont have the time to take them out until the motor comes out. but if your still interested then, then we will work something out then
