Thanks on the info... I figured it'd be about the same/few hp less, but in the LS based world, we all know that slight figure is always a cam/head change away in the GM parts bin. Well I guess I'll be waiting on a 6spd Ute then heheheh. Hmm maybe I should just invest in the kit now and leave it in the garage till that bad boy gets here hahah. Jeez too bad I couldn't install that kit in a 6.0 64' Nova, now that'd be something....

Thanks again Peter,
Smitty.

With how quick the boost comes on I bet that car is a blast to drive.

It's certainly a very quick 4 door sedan, with decent rubber I expect it would trap at around 130 MPH.

Think the stock auto trans (6L80E is it?) can handle the power?

I don't have any experience with the auto trans..............the stick trans handles the torque quite comfortably.

The graph just shows power versus boost pressure...............557 rwhp at approx 7.2 PSI of pressure.

Cheers,
