Well we have had the first VE in Australia get in to the 11's with bolt ons only...

Check out the thread here (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=90756)

It explains the mods, power outputs and 1/4 times. Most of the power outputs are in rwkw which converts by -

1 rwkw = 1.341022 rwhp

So 250rwkw = 335.26rwhp.....

11's with just bolt-ons? I'm not feeling it.

Most of their ET's and MPH's seem a bit optimistic for the claimed rwkw.

Not saying it's BS. I could be wrong, just my opinion.

They must have an ATCO in Australia too.

That would explain it. :D

I know quite a few of them so the times are legitimate......

Here is the timeslip for the car in the 11's and what mods below...

Anyhow here is a run down of the VE

Fullweight VE SS with leather an airbag option ( Spare and jack removed )
Ripshift Super Street ( Track tested and proven )
GMM OTR with maf retained
Di fillipo exhaust
3.7 gears
Koni suspension (thanks Koni for the service )
GM Motorsort custom tune
Powerbond underdrive
Textralia clutch
Pump fuel
Power 283 rwkw ( No filter )

builds the anticipation even more. great numbers for sure! how though, do the aussie dynos run lower numbers? do they not prep the dynos the same?

chrish

Congrats on the great ET's.

all dyno's are always different, i guess its just how the figures are "corrected" etc, but i can totally believe the 11-sec with just bolt-ons, theres plenty of 10-sec commodores (previous models) that are still N/A!

that VE was fitted with 3.7 diff ratio which would definitely help get the weight off the line

good point. i just had no idea why they were all coming up with pretty close numbers... and yet our dynos read relatively same across the board, but with higher numbers. i know strapping down tighter or not as much will have various effects on numbers produced. but who am i to say anything, i dont run a dyno lol

1.6s 60'? Very nice. They running slicks? The 3.7 gears help with the hole shot.

They must have an ATCO in Australia too.

Atco hater. :shiner: We had a guy go down to Florida for the BMR event and ran even faster down there

I still want to hear the stories of pulling up to a new GXP and smokin it.
