138.5rwkw is nearly 200kw at the engine isnt it ?

It made 138.5rwkw. Not bad for low comp heads. Also noticed my idler pulleys were completed ****ed and didn't even spin on my finger when i took them both off..lol, hope that didn't make me show less power..probz not.

On a more important note that we failed to address earlier is that the before dyno graphs where actually incorrect! Which is very frustrating, they were not done in shootout mode because of some technicality with the dyno dynamics software, therefore the before readings where incorrect =[ Furthermore, we could not produce a before and after results with this particular car. I hope this clears any confusion and/or misleading information.

200kw is pretty good in my opinion, like you said especially without cam. Your not suffering the same fuel eco losses etc.

Talking about fuel economy, I'm getting better fuel economy from when i first bought the car. I can get 400km/tank and maybe more if i drive more cautiously. When i first got the car i could only get 320km/tank max.

maybe you have issues i can get 600 to a tank with boost involved

Hmm I've never heard of anyone getting 600L in an ecotec :S not even my parents car (Stock VY V6) gets that good fuel economy. lol. Next time I fill up I'll drive like a granny and see what I can get, but i doubt I'll get 600. Has anyone else gotten 600 in an ecotec?

I used to get 680k's to a tank. THat would include 100km drive to work and back which included monash freeway about 70% of it with stop start on top for 4-5 days, and short trips in the evening and weekend. VP and VN Buick engines are not very economical.

L67 all the way

lol, the missus gets 400km's a tank in her VS and she's got a heavy foot. on the highway that goes over 600 easy and my VN would get even further if i could drive the entire way sensibly

Mines the same. 400 around town, 670 on the highway.
