Been a talkin to Mark again (re-mortgage time), currently pondering supercharger kit, larger valves & different cam with suspension mods. Stuck on wheels/tyres though as anything bigger will surely foul the arches?

I know someone spent £2k with a S'ton wheel dealer for 19" x 10" rims I think.

Any comments appreciated

Hi all

We have another new member who has a GTS-R, (No. 015)he has installed his own supercharger and is running around 530bhp.

and the good news for "V8 HSV" he is in the Southampton
area.

I can send him a message and your email address if you want as I am not sure if he is using the forum yet!

Regards

Thanks, would appreciate that as I could live with existing set up & 530 brake but another 100 would mean more emphasis on wheels/tyres/suspension.

I might be able to help you Guy's in achiving over 600rwhp out of an LS1.

Ive helped Pomona(015) on his Supercharged LS1.

Im currently running a 408 Vortech Supercharged LS1 which is putting out close to 800rwhp.Ive built & tuned my own motor so I know first hand the pitfalls etc.
This car is totally streetable and is driven daily my my wife thou its fairly load with its twin 3inch exhaust.

Cheers

Darren

Id be interested in a supplier of parts, that doesnt charge ripp off shipping charges like some US firms do.
Ive contacted CAPA in Oz to see what their charges are like, but they are very slow to respond.
