A mate sent this link to me as he is looking at getting a monaro and wanted my opinion.

£68,000 in mods since buying the car? and 610bhp with and exhaust and remap? biggrin

No S/C visible on pix - so best he could get would be 400-450, even with a super agressive map... 600 is 12psi s/c stuff.

It may be turbo'd, but why not say so...

Surely you wouldn't be able to have Wortec headers if you had a turbo (or two)?

Ahem, heads and cam will beat that mate! But I agree without major mods no way stock engine will come close to 600.
Maybe there is a vortec centrifugal supercharger sitting on the side. You would want a full frontal pic of the engine bay smile

Looks like the car that was at PV last year - spent a while talking to BO55 about mods if I remember rightly (he had the exhaust but no headers at the time).

Looking at the pics you would see a s/c sticking out. My guess is its a typo...

Not if its centrifugal, it could be down to the side.
I think he has one extra decimal point on all his numbers!
I cant see £68,000 mods, unless it has a stroker engine with titanium everything. AP's 12 bolt harrop diff, coil overs etc, etc.
Id avoid like the plague.
