They are THE ones to go to for Whipples.

They would have to be the most professional team in the Commodore business.

Peter Starr is the consumate professional.

Aaaahh, OK... Just spoke to star, thanks Bass.

G & D is the owner of the Monaro, who is an ex employee of starr. Star are the Whipple distributors for Australia/Victoria... Going to see star this avo!

You got it, Matt used to work for Starr, but then went accross to G & D and finished off the Monaro Project. G & D have now set up the car for the 1/4. It still uses the 6 speed and is currently the fastest LS1 in Australia.

Yeah it was stolen after a dyno comp for the Ford v's Holden show last year in Perth. I guess they knew which workshop it was being garaged at. No they never got it back.

This is his second yellow monaro and its built even quicker than the first one.

Well Thanks for the help guys, I went and met up with Peter at Starr Performance. Had a chat about slapping on 2 Whipple Superchargers to the Mercury Motors, and just waiting for Mr Whipple from the US to work out a few things for us. Whilst I was there Peter took me out for a burl in (~I think his wifes car) those new Holden Station wagons with 4WD, this has a V8 with a Whipple supercharger, I must say thing went OK, but it's hard to impress me when you compare it the GTR, but I still reckon the E55 goes harder. What impressed me the most was the sound, it was awesome, I mean the Supercharger on the E55 is slighty audible but nothing like the Whipple, it was like having to little kids under the bonnet and as soon as you boot it, they screamed loud and hard... "Imagine having two of those on the boat??" he said. I couldn't get the smile of my face.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
