Yeah I found that weird... I knew they were a variant of the Ecotec, but its practically the same thing. Wouldve thought theyd make it special if it was getting put in a Firebird.[/QUOTE]

firebird would be lighter

Well GM toyed with using the Supercharged version, but they never put it into production, would have competed too much in sales with the V8. Woulda been nice to have a car in the 12's with a pully, tune and exhaust!

Actually, from what alot of us are seeing, the Holden plenum/manifold is better because of the intake runners. Our intake design isn't the best, and can run into issues for those with nitrous setups. I know a few that have gone to maximum effort setups with turbochargers and have put the Holden intake on their cars.

Best example is this one that ran 8s!

lol thats insane, so do u work in a rebuilding kinda layout do you?

 

[WarShrike]

I'm just a garage tinkerer, that 8 second car is from Tim King at Intense Racing.

I aspire to have a car with some of that potential, but his is just insane!

Ecoted are special . Your intakes to have better deisgns though, and variants, which is meant to be the reason why your ecotecs put out more power at the engine ?

So you guys didnt get the L67 in much over there?

 

[redcv6]

i don't understand, the l67 was used in many cars in America, most or all i believe were front wheel drives

 

[WarShrike]

L67 was used in alot of FWD cars, but not in the F-body. It would have competed with the V8 sales too much over here.

There is one guy who has converted a Camaro with an L67, he's trying to get all the loose ends tied up. He didn't have the Holden M90 which has a different angled inlet on the supercharger. The US M90's are a straight inlet, which would have had the throttle body in the firewall!

I was just thinking there wouldn't be much clearance!

Wow that would be a pain to do simple things such as change spark plugs....

 

[WarShrike]

Yeah, thank goodness aftermarket headers make changing plugs alot easier!
