Curious to know how it goes launching 3t.

It actually goes pretty well concidering it currently has 420rwhp...
Only problem is i blew the diff in under a month and now decided to go 4.3s instead of 4.6s cos 4.3s are aparently stronger....
Yeah that's not terrible but about what I expected to be honest. If I ever end up doing a swap I reckon I'd go this way. I do love an ls but I think the trusty barra is starting to win me over.
Wow I had 5he same car,got 15 to 17l/100Quote:

Yeah tbh for the power it makes i couldnt be hapoier knowing it avergaes same amount of fuel as many other 4wds with pretty much double the power when wanting to use it... can get thirsty though but ive never been one to look at fuel as its also not a daily
Yeah it's just a nice to know figure when working out what range you can expect... how many extra fuel jerrys to tie to the rack haha. Mostly just wondering if it was comparable to the early ls motors. Looks like bang for buck a turbo barra would be a good substitute for an ls1 if power was your goal on a budget. Similar pricepoint and seem to be ready for good power figures without opening the engine.Quote:
