I am an old fart.


I was going to say that to everyone here that was saying get a shorter diff. :D I looked at your CP and thought you wouldnt want to be changing gears all the time. Not everyone wants to be rowing gears all the time, thats the whole point of the low down torque of a V8 so its an easy drive.

VFII SS ute M6
Well I've had my ss ute for a few weeks now after a steady diet of Fords over the last how many years.

My V8 experience has been with a number of 302 engines in Falcons and Fairlanes.

So now onto the holden. It needs revs to get going. Max torque at 4400 revs, or something like that. My old Fairlane couldn't rev that high:yeah:

So why does it need revs - is this part of the design feature?

How do I get more torque?

I'm not after more power per ce, just more urge down low, ah, like the Fords :thumbsup:

Any suggestions?

change flyweel to a heaver one any good perfomance shop will help
