Looks like it was still climbing too they should've opened the scale up a bit more, or did you hit the limiter?, great power curve though. Well done out of a 6Ltr Supercharged.

Here is a the read out from my last run of the weekend,

A couple more of mine from the NQ Nationals.

That looks really nice, love the wheels, are they Harrop? great photo,

I upgraded the diff and clutch, the diff probably didn't need it, the stock LSD can handle a fair bit, I just wanted a Truetrac. But the stock clutch is crap and needs to be upgraded

I have spoken to Mike a heao of times, a mate of mine took his there for a new cam, check over and a tune, he came out with the biggest smile on his face, great service and top job, I also know people who go to TMS, and they're happy as too, nothing against either workshop, when you have word of...

If I was going to do it again, I would head to Townsville and see Mike at KTMR, he does a great job, if you've only got a catback, then you'll need headers and cats, what catback have you got? I would look at 1 3/4" unless you're going to go supercharged or stroke the engine, then you'd want 1...

Hey Mate, I did sort the fuel issues, the pump that was put in was not holding pressure, causing it to lean out, so I went the ASE intank twin pump set up, no issues now and they're rated fairly high too. There is a VE with a 440ci twin Garret turbo's that is putting out over 1100hp at the...

What is wrong with the pushrods you had? what size are they?

Haven't you got it back yet Adam? what are you waiting for?

How old is the car? Some having problems and still under warranty are getting them replaced with the LS7 clutch. But the stock clutch is pretty shitty.

Here is one of the last ones taken of mine, haven't taken any photos of mine for a while.

I would take the LS3 for sure, so much better then the LS2, the LS2 (from what I understand) is the old style cathederal style heads, which changed on the L98, which they then improved again for the LS3. Without a doubt you would regret going the LS2 after a while. The LS3 has so much more...

Gee that was very close, if the spring had've completely broken then it would've been good by engine that is for sure, but another decent L98 is about the same price as you paid for the heads and bits and pieces. On the 22nd Forbz and myself are looking at a cruise, let you know when we...

If you were looking for a tune in Cairns, I would look at Leigh Holman at SVS, I had a lot of dramas at LK Motors when they had mine for tuning, or if you were looking at Townsville I would recommend KTMR, talk to Mike there, he is a great bloke.

If I was to do it again, I would have the engine built in the states, engine dynoed to what I wanted, then freighted over, I have made so many contacts over there now, and understand more about camshafts abd the affects of manifold vacuum when you don't get the right LSA. Anything I can help...

I would if I were you, I wouldn't use too much though, but a nice smear over the gasket can only help. I have on all other areas of exhausts, so why not the extractors

Well another update for you all, Well the tune from LK was the worst it has ever been, never driven a car so bad, so I went to HDTCQ in Mackay to have it done properly, and the difference is like chalk and cheese, it is so much better. The LK dyno seems like a bit of a disney, apparently made...

**** mate that is no good, the valve must have been broken for a while, and putting force on the glide. Here are some cheap LS 3 heads. chev ls3 heads | eBay

It does get up and go better now, spins 2nd on the move quite easily, the diff has been replaced with a Harrop Truetrac 3.7:1 ratio, the gearbox, tailshaft and drive shafts are still stock, might look at upgrades to them at some stage. Yours is coming along nicely, when are you doing the diff...

Yeah that is 555rwhp and 900nm torque from the final tune, and so much easier to drive, the readout from the tune in Cairns was re done donw in Mackay, and it cam e out at 408rwkw, not 466rwkw as initially thought it was, but I am very happy with the drivability of it now, much easier and not as...

Thats ok mate, no offence taken, just wanted to clarrify that is not meant to look like a maloo. If I was to do it again, would be a 427ci 4ltr whipple combo from the states, it is actually cheaper to do that than the way I went and would make an awesome combo, amazing the contacts you make...

It isn't meant to represent a maloo, it is my personal concept or project car, if I wanted it to look like a maloo, I would've bought one, or bought the kit, It is an aftermarket kit, W427 front bar, Maloo replica rear bar, side skirts and Genuine HSV front guards. Walkinshaw bonnet scoop...

Yeah we'll be there, have to see if Forbz is coming though, he has to get a wheel alignment before he does, so hopefully he does that this week and we're right to go,

Hey Mate, The guards are genuine HSV, they're not cheap. But they do come up here and there on ebay, the front bar is from SSV in Sydney, the rear bar and side skirts are from street commodores off ebay. Still waiting on it being finished, fuel pump should be there by now, injectors are...

Well another update, not complete yet, having issues with injectors and fuel pump too, dropping fuel pressure when turned off, and also possibly when WOT runs, injectors are unknown, have had them out, and don't seem to be what I thought were put in. But just about had it tuned yesterday, but...

I am unsure of all of the differences, but the AFM internals are different, I think it is in the lifters for DOD, if you are to put a cam in, then you have to change all the lifters to non DOD, that is an extra few $$$$ to do this, but apart from that, I am pretty sure that is the only difference.

Nice looking ride, like the covers too, they go well, but wouldn't be able to get away with driving around with them on that is for sure.

Nice ride, the R8's are finished off really nicely, any reason you didn't go the ASE twin turbo way? they're nice small one's tucked up out of sight, I wouldn't have thought there would be too much price difference between them by the time you go manifold etc for the single.

There has been incidents like this that get taken to court, due to your girl being to distraught to work, and there has been some pretty good payouts too, if Dominos do nothing, only acceptable outcome for her to go back to work there would be for him to be fired, anything less is an insult to...

The final interior design is undecided as yet, iw will probably change a little, but I still think that the Atomic is the way to go inside as it will bring outside in. But that is still a little while off yet, have to get the stereo finished first and get the back panel re-fitted to suit the...

With Dan at LK, he is easy going and understanding that mine is being tuned by Oztrack, and is willing to work with steve to tune it, it will be on LK's dyno with steve logged in live to the car so he can see what is happening, and Dan will be using other devices to make sure that all is going well.

I have updated my thread on it, but I don't thinnk engine work is ever finished, but mine should be very close this time to being as finished as it could be. Definately try and arrange a cruise or a get together for all the cairns people in either sunday or monday.

Sorry Guys, been a bit slack updating the information on it, Well the first cam wasn't doing what we thought it would, plus the headers were getting way too hot, the oil temps were getting up there too, and it just didn't seem to run right. So out came the engine again, off came the heads...

Hey Adam, I am back on Saturday 12/11 till saturday 19/11 , Should try and arrange a cruise during the time I am home. I saw the price on the VCM unit, they're not cheap, I reckon I can get you a FAST and TB 102mm for less than that from the states. My ute is still as LK, they're just about...

Hey Adam, I think you would be better getting a ported FAST 102 and Nick Williams TB, the difference would not be noticable if there was one. And for the price of the VCM unit you could easily get a FAST and TB from the states. Ported too would still be cheaper. The stock injectors are...

I Heard your ute was going in to get the cam and clutch done, have you sorted the starting issue? I heard it is an intermitent problem, chech the cluch pedal sensor, that may be the issue, I have read of it happening on another VE. I am back in town on the 22/8, so will try and catch up with...

Hi All, been a while since I have updated, but here is the update and it is in and running. It is the LSX 454, custom cam, ported and shaved heads, comp about 11.8:1, Advanti Sonic Wheels, XYZ Brake package, Here are some photo's of it with the new body kit on too...
