Gents,

Its not often I post but I would like to thank each of you for your informative comments. I have followed with great interest the mods that have been fitted and results that have been achieved.

This afternoon I am having the last of these mods fitted and wait with great anticipation. I achieved 219.3RWK’s on BTP dyno in shootout with Herrod full exhaust, SS 80mm throttle body,BTP helix, SS cold induction and K&N filter.

I am having the underdrives fitted to the XR8 Ute. From what I gather I should be gaining 10kws with a better rev response.

Once again thanks as I wouldn’t have been able to do these mods and have the ear to ear grin if others hadn’t had taken the time to post results.

Cheers……

Good work buddy, im contemplating the underdrives as we speak, but im a bit worried about clutch problems, is yours a manual or auto??

You should of come down to kwinana on wednesday night and gave it a run.

Mate…. I have been told the same about the clutch. I am driving down to Margs on the weekend so I will see what happens on the open road! BPT quoted me for the 500hp clutch, which seems the go if the pedal should drop to the metal.

I have to go to the drags…A mate with a VY has done nothing but take the piss on me since I purchased the Ute so I would like to put this to bed finally.

I have never run at the drags…my mates have and say it’s a great night.

good work, sounds like quite a beast!

Update…drove the 1500kms down south and I could not be happier :) No clutch issues. It revs hard and left 2 GenIII’s and a BMW M3 at the lights pondering why they bought one!

Booked in the beast at BPT to have a 125hp wet Nitrous kit fitted Friday…
