[94calais]

gen III is between 225 kw and 245kw depending on model with 465nm torque

it's a series 2 vy ss 03 model, what's a mafless tune set ya back and how much extra does it give

 

[Rusty]

I was talking the kw when they roll out of the factory. They lose kw's over the years due to many factors so no one will be able to tell you how many killowatt any car has with or without mods (except for dyno). Mafless tune wont give you a great deal of extra power unless you have other accompanying mods.

VY SS has 235 KW at the flywheel
Clubsport 245

Maffless tune with over the radiator cold air intake will set u back about $1300 and give you probably another 50rwkw, providing the exhaust is half decent, extractors, high flow cats and straight thru mufflers.
If you dont have the exhaust cost is generaly about $1700 for mild steel twin 2.5 inch.
Saves fuel depending if you dont flog it, more power and nicer to drive.
To compliment it change the diff gears to 3.9 and you will be loving life.

No GenR.

The "Series Two" VY cars fitted with the V8 ( Sv8... SS... and Calais V8) came with 245 KW @ 5600 rpm engines.

 

[GenReaper]

Pretty sure my owners manual says different.
Maybe the Series 2 is more.
They do this so they can sell the Clubby as an extra performance car.

gen III is between 225 kw and 245kw depending on model with 465nm torque

edit: between 460 and 465 stock torque

My Monaro was stock and pulling 170ish at the wheels. After a full 2.5" exhaust was at 190 and after the mafless tune with Duspeed OTR it's now at 230 at the wheels and added 160 nm of torque. It wa a new car after the tune and well worth the $$$ spent. Chev did a great job on the tune.
