i believe that building a car like marks, and also cars like phils, along with others that are proven to be good performers in drag and circuit is the way to go.it is a massive credit to these guys and makes us other enthusiasts work harder to get our cars at the same level. cant wait to see some video footage of this car runnin

Amen. It is great when we can all enjoy and appreciate the hard work that goes into building something special. That is what being a car enthusiast is all about. I may not like Holdens but I can certainly appreciate a modified or restored one because of the effort and love involved in creating something special. It is great to see Marks and Phils cars out and about because of the effort that has been put into them and they are truely great cars.

The RS is a blast to drive around. Now to complete the run-in period and get back to the dyno for full boost runs!

220kW atw.  More work to be done to clean up the curve.[;^)] See details in the Dyno and 1/4 mile thread.

Insane is good.[88] Same as pinto for engine mounting...But that is the least of your worries. You will need to do some upgrades throughout the car to end with a formidable result.

220kw at wheels in a 950kg piece of medal is awesome.
As you can see, doing things right and putting effort in gets results. There is no quick way around it.
