moose / delco / styler: sweet advice, will hit them up about this. Didn't consider the temp mapping thats on the fac. ecu. I'll hit the shop up about it and see if they can swing it on the existing delco.

Good feedback, thanks for the prices. Most of the work seems to line up with the prices they've indicated (if i take out the ECU + Porting it rounds out around the 5K mark). Basically its 5K for the base hardware / install / dyno run + 2.5 on the ECU and 1K on the porting. The ECU is staying...

Acarmody - actually your figures match their figures, it all sounds pretty much on par. I'm the one nominating the ECU (Autronic SM4), tied up with some other things I want to do with the car. The rest of the work matches your prices (the Autronic takes ~$2300 of the budget). The head work...

Hate to be a dirty ####ing thread bumper but looking to confirm this work next week. Anyone got a ballpark on if it's decent? Will likely get the clutch done + a better ratio on the diff gear at this stage. Next stage is to run with a harder cam, get the intakes and throttle body done. After...

How old's your battery? Could be a bit flogged out if you aren't getting a start after a short drive. If it's only recent, check what the alternator is putting out.

Ditto on the oil change and holden LSD additive. Mine was chattering a heap at low speeds / carparks / etc. Flushed the diff out, redid the oil, added the anitchatter and after about 140 or so k's it settled down. Still has some slippage if i've been giving it a bit, but it's a cheap first pass...

Just putting a thumbs up on this - after reading this thread I had a VY IRS retrofitted to my VT Series 1 SS. Kept the hubs / discs and diff, dropped the rest out and changed it. Massive difference, completely squared up the handling of the car and took the squat / roll out of the ass end. Worth...

Folks, Recently picked up a '99 5.0, going through the motions of adding a few little personal touches. Had a VY IRS retrofitted to it and a GTS twin 2.5" exhaust setup, next stage is this, just wondering if the price looks reasonable. First time working a car up so wasn't sure what to...
