I know it's hard to estimate the rwkw without it being dyno tested. But my Vx Calais has a 5.7L V8, 2.5" x-force twin exhaust system with catbacks and extractors. Stage 2 shift kit, Ls1 edit and a CAI.
Just wondering if anyone with similar mods has had their car tested and give me a rough number?

My vxss made about 227rwkw with similar set up as you then jumped to 267rwkw with a small cam upgrade..

Did you get it tuned after all those mods? If you did, surely you would know a rwkw figure.

It's had an ls1 edit, so more likely a mail order tune if he does not know the rwkw. If say around 230-240 if it has an otr intake, maybe take 10kw off if its not

Thanks for your estimates guys. I bought it with all the mods already done to it. It keeps up with my mates vx ss which is at 237rwkw so it must be around that mark somewhere.

I agree with 220-230rwkw. My last dyno had 224rwkw without extractors, effectively just the mailorder tune.
