Hey trust me it was 122kw for the V8 5 litre carby first unleaded motor, I have a holden book which states- The VL V8 sold poorly compared to the turbo due to the fact that holden had a lot of problems with the switch to unleaded and the outcome was a measly 122kw compared with the VK 5 liter which was 160kw. quote= "The vl arrived just in time for unleaded petrol, and for a while there was no V8 optionas holden struggled to get the 308 to live with the lead free stuff. It eventually got a 5 litre VL to market in late 1986, but it wasn't exactly the finest hour for the 308 (304 actually as the engine was destroked to compete in the group a catagory). The engine was still carburetted and had trouble breathing, managing just 122kw when the smooth, Nissan derived straight six in the cooking models was making 114kw"

Well it has been there 4 days so far, but that is not unusual for my car, I think it enjoys a strangers touch...lol

Honestly, 200rwkw is my target.

Im thinking of putting extractors in. Is it worth the money? i have a manual 6 with just a 2.5 cat back exhaust and pod filter. I read they give you 10-15% more power, and give your an exhaust a cleaner note? or is there something else i could spend the cash on for better performance and sound?

On a part tune my car is making 160rwkw at 3000 rpm.

On a part tune? Whats your setup??

 

[rb26dett]

Part tune because my injectors were maxing out at 3000rpm.

I am running RB26DETT injectors too!
