Not bad for an LS2 and a Harrop 122...

(It's 546 at the wheels.)

Just so linear, so relentless, properly chuffed with how its turned out.
Over the course of a few months, I did my research, read up as much as I could and asked the advice of a few guys here. (So huge thanks to Rich, Richard, Gurmeet and Gareth)

Once I'd decided on what, and the components had been chosen - it was over to Tim at Walkinshaw Performance UK to work his magic make and make it all work. And did he!
So of course HUGE thanks to him and WPUK for a truly epic job - the results speak for themselves

Stock bottom end, Cog drive, Harrop re-wrap kit, Cam, fuelling, Water/Meth Injection, Caddy Racing Roller Lifters and a bespoke/WP complete exhaust system. It's as if that Cam was made for that charger!

In fact, judging by the components, I'm sure I could say it's a 'hybrid'

[Gary H 2008]

Nope

WP headers, de-cat, Magnaflow 11386, WP E3 GTS Bimodal tailpipes with 4" billet tips, 2.5" system.

I run 45/55 Meth/Water Gareth and it's been tuned for that from day one.
Tim did the all the Spanner work and then consulted with Aus as to the best tune for the combination of Wp and non-WP product.

Regardless of add-ons Rich...

[Gary H 2008]

LOL, I'm still waiting for him to mention 'heat-soak'

[Gary H 2008]

Heat soak is the enemy of FI. I mean - just look at my results (top left first, bottom right - last)

See?



Oh...hang on...

:P

Aero

All that great work done with the underbody kit, the stubby spoiler and sharkfin aeriel...completely mullered by the W427 bumper which is as aerodynamic as a brick

From this:



to this:



Has mad a massive difference to the V-Max - you really can feel it at 165+

[Gary H 2008]

you still got beat by an Astra

[Gary H 2008]

- and to echo Mark and Ian ...What works for us individually...works best.

( although I have to question the equation of cost Vs. performance of the work to produce those graphs posted a few posts ago...and wtf is going on with that power curve? )
