G'day ppls. I'v been reading over these forums quite a bit lately as im looking to extract more poke out of my 97 VTV6 being new to commodores i felt this seemed a pretty good place to start posting. i'v drummed up a list of things to do in my head but have tried looking for prices (can fit everything myself) for the mods i plan to do. The motor has 240k so im not sure how it will hold up after some boosted mclovin but i guess if she goes bang i get an excuse to go nuts :thumbsup:
Mods i have planned are as follows:
* 3.9 LSD
* Tranny mods, Shift kit (stage2)
* Exhaust and extractors.
*Rockers
*Raptor pro intercooled. (7-7.5K?)
i was also thinking of juicing up the converter a little. i was thinking 2-2.5k stall to help launches and general acceleration, i was wondering if this would be too much for a standard cam?
seeing the car has as many k's i was thinking the intercooled version just to lower the intake temps and it drops the boost down a little perhaps extending what little life the engine has left?
I'm sure there are a few other people browsing who have done many of the above things to their car and would like feed-back on how it all goes and what sort of power they achieved with similar modifications. i dont want to start cracking to motor open yet and im sure ill come up with many more questions. but im hoping with all of the above i should be able to give standard ss's or even clubbies a bit of a scare
Also apologies if i posted this in the wrong thread. :whistling
