Geez u boys think i made of money or something LOL

My mate has a HZ 1tonne ute with a holden 383 twin turbo and it sounds awsome but it just spins when it comes on boost.

I think by doing a EF/EL with a nice engine is different already and dont see any around especially in Sydney.

When i had my previous XR8 people used 2 freak and the older guys used 2 give me the thumbs up.

I want a good street car that will run 11z all day everyday.

High compression stroker on LPG and a whiff of the laughing gas should the need arise.

Sorry MICKYYYY, I couldn't help myself, I added another option :lol:

You sort of posted this in the wrong section, of course there was going to be more votes for the stroker V8 instead of the BA turbo, this is the V8 section and like me, most of us are bias, :twisted: who wants to be missing two cylinders.

Yeh guys im not made of money and honestly i think turbo V8's are pointless on the street as it just spins like my mates ute.

But i wouldnt mind a blower but with the nice glimer drive sound

If you want a whine you dont want to go for that kit. Something more like this will better suit

Yep just go for one of the Votech's but not the SQ's as they are "Super Quiet".

XR9UTE mentioned something about the SQ having a better gearbox and so on.

If i were to go blower id want it 2 be reliable so maybe the SQ is the way to go unless they have another with the nice gilmer sound but with the same gearbox???

Start with the stroker, then when you next want to start another project throw a huffer on each side :)

If you want a stealth car, get a damn corolla!
