Ute SS spotted on M3

This morning on my way to SRR sounded very nice indeed. Not sure but think it had the monaro style front.

What time are you running?, I'm booked for 1145hrs

[VinceM]

Was booked for 1015, left there about 11.

What did it make now you've had the heads and cam done?

360 wheels and 440 fly. Mapping needs to be finished so might be a little more there but the curve is very linear and progressive which is what I wanted

Nice one! So about a 15%(ish) BHP increase at the wheels from what you had but a very linear power curve, so the torque must be significantly increased so I bet it feels quicker

I thought drive train loss was nearer to 100 bhp so should fly figure not be higher ?

According to most American sites,such LS1.com etc, it should be between 17.5 & 20% power loss through the drive chain, and they're normally talking about auto boxes so it sounds about right to me

It is. Assuming we are talking monaro.
