hey guys just thought id update this since it hasnt been done in awhile.
I have ditched the SS-V rims for a set of 19 x 8.5 inch Speedy Wheels "Cheetahs" with a black centre and chrome lip..
About 3 weeks ago I hit a kangaroo so the car is off to the panel beaters for a month to get a new front bar a set of VZ SS fluted guards and the rear bar is being modified to suit a dual 3 inch exhaust that will run down both sides of the car resulting in quad tips.
The car was dyno'd at Powertorque Engines in Brisbane and it is making 219.4rwkw
At the moment I have ordered a textralia clutch and am looking for a set of massive harrop brakes, a good supercharger cam and head package to mate with a harrop top mount blower and a OTRCAI custom made to connect to the blower, Im also fitting a set of bilstein shocks and a set of Hurricane 4 - 1 extractors with a 1 7/8 primary and getting the cat back system made to exit out both sides of the car.

Any feedback, suggestions or advice would be great

Thought Id update this since its been awhile
Well its been interestin over xmas I hit a kangaroo doin 100km and it didnt damage my car that badly just rooted the front bar and the passenger front quarter panel and before that my gearbox and clutch decided to die on me so my car was shipped off to malwood automotive to have a option 3 + clutch, gearbox rebuilt and 3.9 diff ratio fitted. Also the car is off to the panel beaters in may to get a new front bar, vz ss fluted gaurds with vz maloo flutes and the towball removed.
After this im getting the exhaust done then when i get back from overseas im debating between a head and cam package with an otrcai or a cam and a supercharger though i cant decide between a side mount or a top mount charger any suggestions?
ATM im lookin for a set of harrop brakes with 6 pot fronts (360mm) and 4 pot rears (330mm) does anyone know if i can buy these online and where??
Here are some pics of my car before I laid some smackdown on the roo Ill post some more up when I get it back from the panel beaters

The SSVs looked tough, but i think the speedy cheetas look a bit nicer on the car... seem to suit it well... I rekon go top mount supercharger... my old man has had side mount superchargers on a VX GTS and a 300C SRT8 and both of them had trouble with the belt and moving of the supercharger etc. Best way to go is topmount, its secure with the block so under load it moves with everything else, less chance of sh!t breaking really... Plus power outputs tend to be the same... a cam and supercharger should get you 380 at the rears.. i remember the GTS put out 470kw on 7.5lbs boost with stock internals..

Do you know what part number springs you have in the rear?

Honesly I got no idea what the part number for the springs are in the ass end are because they were on the car when I brought it although I believe that are King SSL's if that helps

Hey mate just noticed you have the same cam that I just put in, about your exhaust why did you go 3"cats then 2.5" cat back? I'm trying to get the best exhaust system for this cam.
