VE SS ute 360rwkw N/A, 2016 VF2 SS M6
Point of my 2¢ is that the science is the same, nobody makes more power given a known bolt-on upgrade / combo.

So so true, I remember in the early days of ls1's a place telling me they had a new tune come in that's was so much better lol.

In the end a bolt on ls3 is going to have around the same kws when tuned(there is no super tuner getting extra 50kws maybe the polariser and 2" headers lol).

Luckly never had a bad tune yet, had a average one with cam(first VE with a cam for tuner early 07) but a little extra work got her running sweet.

Got to sit with the family And watched the street quick performance vf ute run 11.5@190kmhr with a stock cam! Pb 11.47. Awesome result

I spoke to John during the week and the ute went 11.1 @ 124mph with a cam in the engine. Will be great to see his next update on the website to see the power increase that went from 11.4's to 11.1 and how big that cam is!

I am getting my car ready to race at the Holden Nationals down here at Heathcote in a couple of weeks time.

It will be interesting to see what 353rwkw does in the real world with Drag Radials, Converter and Front Runners. :)

Do you have the name of the website? I think I checked it out about 6 months ago. Is it the guy who owns a performance shop (or exhaust shop?) and has been doing incremental upgrades and does a 1/4 run each time to see the results? I think he is in S.A or W.A.? Well my description is pretty vague as it only narrows it down to a about 1000 people but I figure its the same guy......
