So everything's all done and dusted, got the car back last night from paramount performance in Toowoomba (great guys to deal with Terry really knows his stuff when it comes to GM V8s) and I'm super super happy with it.

It ended up making 264rwkw/355rwhp (through an auto with a slippy converter) the car sounds completely off it's head I love it so much. Ended up just putting in a new cam, pushrods, valve springs,double row timing chain and getting it tuned, and it made a huge difference (80~ rwkw difference)

Now where's bunta to convert the tractive effort to NM properly? I bet shes putting down some impressive torque for "only" 260 KW

sounded sick in the vid too Nick! Uber jelly!

Thanks man, yer the video really dosent do it justice just ask Tom he was sitting behind the car today lol

But yer no idea how much torque it made, is very nice to drive,after around 4g it's just a smoke show though lol

That's impressive for that old LS! Bet you're a happy man! You gonna squeeze some more out of her?

Not for a while, maybe some spray later on but for now it goes well... Has no grip ever lol

Too hard, the gearbox and diff are unfamiliar to me.

Nice result Nick!

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
