    welcome to the site. From the doors forward I see a GTO.
    Have you thought about porting and polishing your stocker?

    Hi there, I have checked out the FAST TB, but the way I read it will only fit the FAST manifold. Is this not correct?
    Regards

    Thanks. Yes I like it, she's pretty quick. I have a few traction problem though. I have also installed a module to make it shift quicker. It has knocked a second off the standard quarter mile times on street tires.

    Hi there, yes I have thought about porting and polishing the TB. I am one of these guys that thinks bigger is better. What kind of gains am I likly to see? You are right about the GTO front. We call these Utes (utilities, pickups) setup by HSV Australia, drive and go round corners like cars.

    Hi Kiwidave.

    I've just finished reading an artical about Skaifey breaking the Guinness World Land Speed Record for a factory ute in a Maloo. Previously held by Dodge with their Viper V10 powered SRT-10 @ 248km/h (154mp/h). Now held by Holden's HSV LS2 Maloo @ 271.44 km/h (168.6 mp/h) straight from the showroom.

    Wonder how long it will take till we see 300k's?
