Now that is a very high quality piece. How come that stock and all of these different header packages do not incorporate a flex joint to compensate engine movement?

Who is developing the blower package? Interesting that they are taking a non-OEM looking approach by not using the stock airboxes. Is it going to be a cone filter?

If it's a ve it will need atleast 500rwhp to keep up with me (assuming from the runs I had last night). Last night I had a run against a charged ve clubby with 416rwkw, I got him by about a cat at most. Mind you we went all the way to top of out 4th. I then had a run against a ve gts with head + cams + 125shot of nitrous. I got him by about half car. He makes 530rwhp. A mate has vy with a 383 stroker, higgins heads and cams, fast intake manifold, auto with 4k convertor. Makes 480rwhp has gone 11.2@126 we are side by side all the way from about top of our 1st to half way through 4th, then he starts running out of legs. Vy ute which has gone 12.0@116mph I leave him big time.

Wow I didn't realise how quick our cars are or should I say how quick yours is. I would love to catch up with you to hear your exhaust as James keeps pestering me to put one on as he also tuned mine.
