However, don't get your computer edited until AFTER you have made your mods and you have the car running on whatever fuel you intend to keep using. Cheers...Dave

Take it to someone like's Sam's performance in Sydney or Oztrack (www.oztracktuning.com). They should easily be able to match the performance of a 285kW HSV from a near stock VX LS1, and that's all
