Default Hello from AUSTRALS1A

How are ya,
I just wanta say hello from the land down under.
You all have some great looking cars over there!
As a matter of interest,
My car is a HSV CLUBSPORT R8... (The Australian 4 door version of our Monaro... which is your Pontiac GTO)
It has a 300kw/400horse 346cid LS1 through a m6 with 3.9 rear.
I plan to fit a cam kit and fast manifold in the next couple of months as well as a set of cnc heads and some 4into1 long tube headers.
Anyway, I have been enjoying reading the tech stuff and build ups of these engines and look forward to sharing my build with you as well.
Mike
