Throttle controllers are pointless. I have the same thing attached to the bottom of my right leg..

I must humbly disagree ... I find my right foot quite helpful, on a nearly-daily basis!

I had a tune yesterday at Revhigh in Halam, Melbourne and was wondering what people's thoughts on this dyno graph are. Vehicle is an SS auto with VCM OTR, 1 7/8 headers, 100 cell cats, 3" stainless exhaust...pretty standard stuff.

Assuming a 25% drive train loss and maybe a happy dyno:

Stock: 260 kw/195 rwkw
Tune: 335 kw/270.5 rwkw @ 209 km/h (524.8 lb/ft @ 162 km/h)

Which is an increase from stock of nearly 40% at the rears if my math holds up.

I'm just trying to get a better idea of what this graph reveals about real world driving, in particular the torque curve from around 20 - 185kph and to understand it a bit better. The throttle controller I had them put in is also a lot of fun View attachment 224015
Throttle controller increases pedal sensitivity, with your mods I actually would have expected abit than that but who knows..

^ Are you sure that's a modified VF table, and you've not accidentally uploaded the VN Series I GM-3800 mapping table?

The number of surprised faces on company-car drivers as they accidentally performed one-wheel-peels in light drizzle taking off from the lights ... :)
Facts! I miss my VN S1. So much fun not being able to take off in the wet without wheel spin! The VN S1 was the quickest NA V6 Commodore down the quarter mile until the VE Commodore.

It was quicker than any Holden-badged V8 Commodore too, wasn’t it?

Damn you, now I'm missing my old VN!

Dunno but probably. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong!

I had a VN 5.0 V8 and that was definitely quicker than the V6. I had a BT1 and a friend had a BT1 V6 version and the V8 was a lot quicker.
