Nice ride. Now I know the story behind it. I was interested in your car when I saw it on the lift last year at Monkfish. I got a picture of it next to my wife's G8. I own a GTO in the states, supercharged, cam, ect.

Thanks You still got the pic ?

What power are you getting from the GTO ?

Yes, I still got the pic. I'll get it uploaded by the weekend. My GTO puts down around 500rwhp. That's out of a small fifth gen MP112 supercharger at 6.5lbs of boost. Looking to go with a bigger charger.

WoW thats good, only got 500rwhp from my MP122 on 9psi

wheel hp in the states always seems to be higher than over here, no matter what the car!

Why is that ?

LS7 just cant cope with the extra power

Why is that ?

Different dynos I guess. Their WHP figures seem to be the same as our flywheel figures, when using the same mods and getting the same 1/4 mile times and terminal speeds.

Have noticed that
Is USA fuel a lower rating RON as well ?

I think USA fuel is the same, but the numbers are lower because they use a slightly different rating system.

That explains that then

ACT clutch now fitted, feels good so far
Lighter, smoother, revs faster, alot less nosie in car ? small down side is the chatter at low revs and dont get engine braking like the ls7 .
But i will get used to that
