Just a CAM, exhaust and tune! Any plans to do UDP, Clutch, Thermostat, springs, Intake, springs etc?

I think it is cam-only, which probably involved a valvespring upgrade already, will check. And yes they put a tex in already (a week or so ago) see post hereabouts. So my apologies it's not "stock".

We are waiting for the Russo VE intakes to be finished (at the glasser now).

Russo only just got their hands on some beta HPTuners E38 software yesterday, chris thought he would give it a go, an hour before going to the track! It all worked great, and it pulled a rather impressive dyno figure, however the tune is far from finished.

I believe Justin constructed a last minute OTR out of some cheap plastic last night (5 minute job using race-tape) but it was collapsing in on itself under load. So last night was a fizzer unfortunately.

They'll post up some dyno numbers when they can be backed up by track results, as soon as possible.

Also we'll get a list of all the mods.

It will be great to hear the progress on this car... I think the E platform will prove to be very quick on factory/true street rubber... Theres already 1.8 60's on factory rubber :bravo:

I believe the factory 20" rims / tyres present a few challenges too

E series HSV (LS2) vs VE Holden (L98) - which is better i wonder?

Definately looked like it had some good power but maybe struggled a bit with traction when I saw a couple of its runs, being a manual it wouldnt be easy to get a good number on street tyres with that power.

Have to say it was one of the best nights I have been to WSID last night, not to many cars and killer conditions allround.
