A most excellent upgrade. Almost an extra 30bhp! Plus being the first gen of this engine, she is going to be well detuned smile

Yeah 307kw to 325kw wink

Well more like 25bhp... but with the nicer heads and displacement growth potential should be excellent. US tuners are getting over 500rwhp from them cam only! Which by the sounds is more like 450rwhp UK/Oz dyno's.

Why does something better always come out? How are you meant to know when to buy!

Graph for GM engine geeks
