    Bit of an update
    New LS6 manifold from a vy + SS Inductions 78mm Throttle Body. Should be good for a bit more power. Should look good in the enigine bay with a bit of a polish etc.

    LS6 manifold and TB will definately give you a bit more poke. When she booked in for a retune?

    was gonna get my manifold/tb chucked on and tuned but the car was due for a service so i thought id get that done first. its spposed to be around a 10kw gain but i think ill wait until i cam it then get it chucked on.

    Well the cars been on hold the last few months so i could pay off a large chunk of it off. Now thats done its time to get going again. The cars book in for the 20th of Jan at GMM for a new camshaft. I wanted somthing pretty mild cos its my daily so i decided on the comp cams 220/220 grind after lots of reading. But after speaking to Phonsey he recomended going with one of his grinds which he thinks will be better then the 220/220. Specs on the cam are 218/220 @ 50 with over 600thou of lift. At the same time i am gonna chuck on my LS6 manifold/tb comb. I am hoping for around the 250-260 rwkws mark and am told to expect low 12's or high 11's with a stallie. Very excited about it. cant wait!

    As XR8D says stick with who you know, Phonsey and the boys at GMM know their stuff and if they recomend their custom grind cam there will be a reason for it.
    Sounding good man all the best with it (You will love it) steve.
