Caspy has a monaro badged vxr 600 and did say when asked they could look into an upgrade pack. His has an intercooled supercharger with a shorter chain or something. It goes like stink apparently.

Probably a different pulley and the addition of an intercooler which combined allow 12psi boost rather then 6psi for the non-intercooler setup (500).

The Vaux Maloo (aka VXR 600) is running that exact same spec - Caspy has just done the same to his Monaro...

...would that really account for much extra over S/C and Catback..

Its a worry that because I did only post once !!!!

It would need a clutch upgrade in reality, and the headers with s/c and intercooler seem to make quite a difference!! It seems to move peak torque lower in the rev range.
