This is serious evidence to those people that say V6's don't have potential.

You'd hope so with all the time and money spent on it mate.

Speaking of getting 291hp (224kw) what sort of torque is it making now? Any 0-100 times or is it to early for those yet?

True that!

When i get the tune finished i'll get a graph with the torque. My tuner records it as 'foot pounds' so i have no idea how to convert to NM?? lol

I do like to take it to the drags for a skid and a race but S.A sucks and i gotta drive to VIC for that haha, once a year. I really lack practice because of that

Australia. Land of the socialist nanny states, and lack of opportunity haha!

I'll be keen to see the torque on it, probably would be making a fair bit!

WOW...just read the entire thread from start to finish on your build...

I've seen your car around at some dyno days here and there over the years, excellent build mate, truely an inspiration to other ecotec owners out there that want angry N/A power!

Hey Gilb I think (1 ft/lb is 1.35 NM) and for those that want to know (1 NM is .74 ft/lb)
