Have any you chaps seen this site (I am guessing some must have). Quite cheap but great reading. Loads of stuff about cars and comapnys in Oz with LS1/2/6 engines and Holden/HSV.

They feature specific owners cars each week and feature projects. There is some very serious hardware indeed! This week a modded 2002 HSV GTO with 450KW at the crank!No forced induction.

Its good as they cover how the owners have systematically upgraded the cars and planned improvements. Good for your education on how to understand why and what we can get from the UK modding crews.

A good read for those interested in finding out what you can do with these great cars!

There is a big diffence. There are calculators I will find a weblink to one I have used before. To give an idea the 05 Monaro (CV8) is quoted at 260Kw roughly 350BHP.

Found teh conversion factor! Multiply the KW by 1.341 and that is to UK horsepower not Euro land PS.

So that makes 450KW 603BHP!! Ye gods. Read the article it is one hell of a machine. There is also a twin turbo CV8 which had 500KW at the wheels!! Well what must be left of them anyway,.
