Flooring the bad boy

Not really. It's a lot of money for the ponies and torque and it already didn't have a lot to begin with

sweet as…

Got my VE series 2 SV6 in for some go faster bits and the dyno figure baseline was 170rwkw. Will be interesting to see what it pulls after the hi flow cats, OTR and 95 tune has been done. I know there is a lot of variation between dynos so there is no definitive right or wrong.

The tuner said to me he would be very surprised if it did not break the 200rwkw mark. That was my ultimate mark to hit but was not sure if it would get anywhere near that. Will be curious to see the torque figure too.

They built me some 200 cell cats but have to wait until next week for the rest of the work to be done. Would be interesting to have seen what it would have ended up with if I got cams done too

The Alloytec is quite efficient straight out of the box so I think you might struggle to get over 200rwkw.

It's an LFX not an alloytec, I believe the LFX make more power easier than the previous engines.

If it's from the HFV6 family made by Holden it's an Alloytec - LF1, LY7 and LFX

Okay, I did not know that, I thought the alloytec was just the common name for the engine prior to the LFX.

The LFX is made to be more efficient than the earlier versions of the Alloytec and has the exhaust manifold built into the cylinder head so would probably be more difficult to get extra power from than the older Alloytecs.

One of the major reasons you can get so much extra power out of an LS is because the engine design is very inefficient from the outset so there’s a lot of low hanging fruit available to improve engine performance. The more fuel efficient an engine is from the factory the more difficult it is to wring extra performance out of it as the two parameters are inextricably linked together (fuel efficiency and performance).

Ah well, I guess I will find out soon enough, the few websites I looked at they did mention that you can get more increases out of an LFX with the same mods and a tune as apparantly Holden detuned the LFX quite a bit to meet emission standards. Next week I will know one way or the other.

That is true. I noticed LLT and older engines made less than LFX with the same mods (excluding exhaust manifolds)… tho they sound really nicer than LFX
