Welcome cuzzie from across the ditch! Wicked ride, very quick.
I have a VT running a single rear mount, just about to ditch the ls1 and throw in a new ls3. Daily driver so unlikely to match your times, was great to see what your car does though.

Cheers guys
Plan is to get the 408ci motor in and push the GT42 to its limits then look at upgrading to a 80+mm turbo, along with a 3rd 044 pump and a 2nd waste gate if needed,
at first ill slap 18psi in it and go up from there, 800+rwhp is the goal and a 9sec pass full weight

so its been a very long time since ive updated
The 408ci motor is in and ive maxed out the GT42 @14psi making 620rwhp though a T400
will be upgrading to a S480 in the next few weeks, hopfully will net me some good gains and some more boost aiming for 18-20psi
any one else running a S480 on a 408ci ?
