"waspies" ? Sorry don't follow (been a long day).

Cheers. It's been busy. How about yourself?

No post coz it's pretty much finished now. Well, I was thinking of LS3 heads (the cam profile was made to suit them) and maybe a stroker kit. But I got to save my pennies first. ;)
Check out what a good mates throwing on his stroked LS2. I was thinking....hmmmm. That's could be a go! haha

Killowats = killowasps = waspies.

duh.

Still only just over 400 horses at the wheels. :(
To stay n/a and reach that 500 mark? Seems like a big jump, but I'll get there one day. ;)

I'm a slave to n/a. I just love non turbo/supercharge engines. It's a sickness. haha

I'm copying other good ideas I see or learn. So I'm good with that mate. ;)
It'll be like, by the time I get 500hp at the tread everyone else will be, "pfffft, is that all? 750hp at the tread is the norm now".

It's a sickness I tell ya. Mates that know I'm after the waspies say, "turb it Pete", or "supercharge it Pete!" I'm like, nah. Then they look at me strangely. haha
It's simple. I prefer the sound of a sick cam to anything else.

I'll never forget the first time I took my young son (at the time) for a ride in the VX with the first lumpy cam I had it in. We were at the lights waiting. He goes, "Dad, is the car meant to be shaking around like this?" I smiled and said, "yes son, that completely normal for this engine boy". ;)
