475kw supercharged LS9 to be available in 250 Commodores.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/holden-gets-green-light-from-detroit-to-build-165000-commodore-with-supercharged-corvette-power/news-story/4a4519edef971b2cd9219a4eb92b15aa

with performance that will outpace the latest Porsches and Ferraris.

Sounds kinda exciting. Will be cool to see an Australian built car really stick it to Ze Germans.

Gee another chump driven hero car that we need to put up with drag racing every skyline on the freeways.

Oh well we have another ego to crush I suppose.

Don't forget the new ford mustangs! I've already come across a few full blown spanners weaving in and out of peak hour traffic.

Hmm American muscle power plant in the iconic Aussie Commo.

Not sure how that might be received..

Anyone remember the reaction of Holden fans when the VL came out with the RB30.

They were disgusted at it, but much later became very popular as everyone slowly realised the potential of the RB.

Another mongrel Holden.

Are you serious? The commodore v8 has been a chev since 2000.

LS's are all american engines and been in holdens since the VTs.

Aussies have always loved the SB chevs since I think 1969 with the HT monaros.

And Chev have been rethinking the Camaro is well so we may yet see it in Aus......then we will all be able to buy 'new age' american muscle if we can afford it. And there is always the Camry :woot: for us poor downtrodden plebs.

But we all be driving Tesla's by then!!!

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
