having had a w407 package fitted to my 2017 ssv redline i have not had any problems with the car at all last 5 years
the tune is a generic and flashed, the tune cam package was dyno tested and developed in house on the engine dyno
at walkinshaw workshop by qualified engineers, they tested 6 different cams to get the best one for street manners for auto and manual drive ability ect , i know this as a friend services there dyno
these same engineers developed the engines tunes on HSV cars for Holden compliance and also worked on the v8 super cars engines
thats what you pay for, not some self taught speed shop back yarder
i also got a quote for a cam package from a melb tuner, well known in australia located in blackburn,
for 6k they would not tell me what parts they used, how many parts, not even what grind cam
what a joke
i said i,m spending the money, do you fit a new cam chain, lifters, chain tenisioner, what springs specs, cam specs ect
nothing, they looked at me dumb founded, just wanted up front deposit
they said its custom spec, a secret, we make it fast MATE
a young guy i know had same story from that work shop, would not tell you what your paying for
i know the walkinshaw package w407 is expensive 10k when i bought it
but its peace of mind, i,m old a retired mechanic could have saved money, fitted a cam lifters springs ect my self , but at my age who wants to craw under cars again, then get it towed to a tuner shop
the walky w407 was great for me, sure its a baby cam, slight loby idle, much more powerful are packages aviable from other shops at lower cost
but its perfect for me, mid 12s on the quarter and well under 5 seconds to 100ks
enough power to lose my licence and car be impounded all in just a few seconds
people may say walkys a ripp off, so and so are half the price ect ect
i just wanted my car tuned and modified properly, if i was short of cash i might have gone elsewhere
also the walkinshaw package adds value to the car, no other performance package i know of was an option on new Holden commodores at a holden dealer , for me it was peace of mind, have read many horror stories of bad tunes, work done, misfiring, rough running, stalling ect
and the backyarder taught tuner does not want to know about it, or fix or help you
then its extra money going to another tuner to fix it
rather than risk a cheapo sam or cons custom self taught tuner speed shop
i would rather spend the money on a proper engineered package, than deal with shite from blackburn ace turners that could not even tell you cam lift or valve spring seat pressures
bugger tahtttttttt
