blowers are being added to the ones being sold in the UK as an option over their only.

all the rest have the callaway motor elsewhere.

I didn't even know they sold Holden in the UK, learn something new everyday <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So in the UK its Vauxhall, Holden, a few Chevrolets, Saab, what else?

I was just listing the companies that GM has a big stake in, that are sold in the UK. Are there any others? I think GM has partial ownership of Subaru, but not a huge amount.

HSV UK is a tiny operation - a couple renting a barn about 70 miles north of London.

They are fitting the Vortech superchargers with intercooler for £10k...which is a little steep for me.

I'm considering some other upgrades for my car - I'm trying to understand what parts can be interchanged with US-spec LS1's, it's not clear to me what's different.

First up is the clutch, then MAF and TB, eventually thinking about doing some head work and a more invigorating cam.

No! If you have a GTS? you don't have a MAF!

The stock CnC Callaway heads arn't to shabby either.

A decent cam and a tune will get you more excited for less bucks... or POUNDS! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Your diff is also good with the stock Hydratrak 3.91 stock and stock clutch has yet to fail me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The GTS-UK is probably closer to the Ozzie ClubSport. The Oz GTS is sold in the UK as a GTS-R (confused yet?)

The superchargers are only being fitted to the GTS-UK spec cars.

I don't have the Hydratrak rear end either - I'm trying to find a used unit to swap in.
