Re: Holden Commodore GTS 5.7 Supercharged 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.

Re: Holden Commodore GTS 5.7 Supercharged 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.

Re: Holden Commodore GTS 5.7 Supercharged 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" />

Re: Holden Commodore GTS 5.7 Supercharged 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.
