    1.6i Whipple + 304 = 300 - 320rwkw.... possible?

    thx, ill look into it... you wouldn't have a link or what to search under... was TK383 the author of the thread? thx... I can't see how a turbo setup would be cheaper then a blower, but ill definitely investigate since my engine will be coming out anyway

    1.6i Whipple + 304 = 300 - 320rwkw.... possible?

    Do you know the part no. of that cam? I cant find it on there site... Im assuming the 1.6i whipple is smaller then the m112 (= 1.8i?) I'm trying to find out if it'll hold me back, as I wish to avoid the 2.4i whipple as its too expensive and seems to large for what I want. do u know if the...

    1.6i Whipple + 304 = 300 - 320rwkw.... possible?

    Engine will see mostly weekend and rare/mild track use (drift practise) If so what internals, compression, cam & psi would be needed? And how high will it need to rev? Are there any members/workshops who have done this? Want low to mid power, and no lumpy cams/idle or narrow powerbands...

    304 C.O.M.E Racing package for my VT Clubby 5.0LT

    I'd get a 355/383 crate motor built and if funds permit supercharge it (whipple), and have it freighted to a good workshop to put it all in and get it running, you won't have to lift a finger, and you'll get a lazy 300rwkw :) I forgot the name, but theres a place that does a t56 conversion for...

    304 C.O.M.E Racing package for my VT Clubby 5.0LT

    Pavtek or Advanced engine performance. Both have good reputations, both do 500hp+ crate motors. You'll still have to sort out your intake, ECU and fuel system however which will be thousands + labor putting it all in, dyno tuning, and extras we all forget. Don't expect the getrag to live long...

    CVR or CSR electric pump? Halp

    Why not another CVR?

    304 C.O.M.E Racing package for my VT Clubby 5.0LT

    whats your budget? I've researched this a bit and theres holden crate motors to be had at around 12 - 16g, with everything done, ready to drop in. So add in the labor on top + freight, and you'll see change from 20g I would imagine. That was my original budget, until it skyrocketed to almost 30.

    304 304 build project (vs drift purpose ute)

    Coming along well. For your suspension settings, get onto a drifting forum, or ring some specialists up. They'll give you advice on what Lb rates to run your front and rear springs at, and shocks (they'll be custom made up to suit everything) for your ute (drift purpose of course ;)). Then...

    304 304 build project (vs drift purpose ute)

    Sounds good for the financial position your in. I personally wouldn't bother with coilovers, or adjustable shocks they are a waste of money. Only Adjustable swaybars, panhard rod and camber tops are worth getting IMO. Talk to someone knowledgeable about suspension who also deals in bilstein...

    304 304 build project (vs drift purpose ute)

    barbagallo raceway looks like a sick track. I'm guessing high HP cars would make the most of those long corners. You'll probably want to build an engine to suit the track you drift on. Suspension of course, is something you should pay more attention to first, before even thinking about the...

    VT Brake Upgrade on VS

    If I get a brake shop to fit the kit, would they need to muck around modifying anything? all I've read is to swap around the calipers (left to right, fit to back of rotor) and to either remove or cut the dust plate.... Why does the dust plate need to be cut/removed?
