Hey guys,for those that remember,some nearly 3years ago I had a Gen-TT WH Caprice. All exceptional installation & exhaust work was done by Hi-Flow exhaust & intercooling.

Was a great little budget setup & ended up with a 11.91@119mph,1.99sec 60 foot,before the stock motor decided to bend some valves. Now after a long hiatus & misadventure that nearly saw me ripped off blind from a dodgy interstate operator,the car is almost ready to hit the streets again with a new combo from the guys at Castle Hill exhaust performance centre in Sydney.

The new combination consists of a 6L (364inch) iron block,aftermarket rods,pistons,head studs,CNC ported LS2 '243' heads,238/244/115lsa cam,custom manifolds,twin gt3582 (0.86 A/R turbine housings). Box is a TH400,rear end consists of BMR cv's & driveshafts with an upgraded 2piece tailshaft. Big thank you must go to Andrew (aka Popeye) of Hi-Flow for the fitment of the rear end,pro ratchet shifter & many other things along the way.
So far all thats left on the car is fuel system & tuning.
Its got an eboost street & dual map pcm,flick a switch for pump or race fuel.
It's getting raced at WSID on race fuel with 29x9 slicks & front runners.

That looks great. Look forward to seeing it run some numbers, and perhaps a time?

Keep posting details as you progress!

Needs a bigger rear housing on them turbos they look too small haha

Looks good mate give me a yell if your keen on that road trip..

[likwid_dzign]

Are you running 364ci, or did you bump the displacement out a bit? What final drive are you running?

That's also quite an aggressive cam for a turbo, noice!

You'll probably need to look at a cage if you haven't already got one in... That's how quick you should have the old boat going!

[caprice]

Yeah got the 0.82 exhaust housings for now,remember its a daily driver.
Stock 364ci,maybe in years to come it might grow to 400+ & then we go for 1.06 rear housings.
Its stock 3.07 gearing. So in top gear (1:1) at 100km/h,should be around the 2500rpm.

Looks like it's all progressing quite well... Be interesting to see if the combo can go to 500rwkw on pulp.
Even if it pulls up a bit short that's still fantastic power!
