Picked it up today on my round Robin trip with the trailer.

Walkinshaw Performance have turned "White Lightening" into the most amazing car I have ever owned.

Headers and full exhaust next. it's just fecking amazing.

Very Nice! thumbup

Is that at 760bhp at the wheels or flywheel? Either way it's a properly quick car biggrin

According to facebook, it was a hub dyno, as it was trying to jump the rollers on a conventional rolling road.

Nice one Andy! I was sat next to Ken when he was talking about putting the GTS on a hub dyno last week. I didn't realise it was yours he was on about smile

I need to get used to driving with my eyes as wide open as my mouth (should not be tooooooooooooooooo hard for me. Hahaa laugh

I am struggling to get my head round how quick it is, took James (my son) out last evening and all I could hear him saying was "OMG" wobble

It's when you have performance like this that you appreciate the "BIG" brakes. smokin

This is an amazing car and I would give Walkinshaw Performance the "BIG" thumbs up to anyons who decides on taking their Gen-F to this level. clap

Thought is was going to be quick when I had a call from WP saying I could not have it back. smile

I don't sex anymore as this is better. cloud9

Was this just from a cam & smaller charger pulley?

No.

This is what Walkinshaw Performance offered and I am very happy with the result which is almost 100%.

Stage 2 kit
Cold air induction
Supercharger drive pulley
Overdriven balancer pulley
Hi – flow injectors
160 degree thermostat
ECU Recalibration.

Addition to above:
Cam & double valve springs

Power: 760BHP
Torque: 760lbft.

Next is exhaust and headers, but would like to hear it first as I quite like it as it is. driving

I know it's not the really the same Andy, but I've got the 3" system on mine (E3 GTS) and just had the manual switch fitted, I wouldn't want it any louder than it is on full chat !

Nice grumble on idle, then a lovely deep V8 burble on acceleration biggrin

Yeah be good to see it on SRR dyno as well as the trap speed at the track smile
Hub dyno's read quite a bit higher than at the tyre.

No doubt its crazy fast though. Not far off what they get in Oz on the DynoDynamics stuff (Mind you with heads and better exhaust!)

Just goes to show what proper heads and cam can do wink

With a smaller blower and 9:1 compression too..

Now you can trash all the higher compression TVS2300 guys mate!

Torque curve suggests launch will be a challenge.

Sarge are you at thunder?
