August 12, 200620 yr #11 Hey people just wondering when I upgrade to an edit and valve's and 42lb injectors what sort of power would or should I be looking at?I already have front mount,ss cai,exhaust and a xede piggy back which is getting the ass.Any idea would be great.oh yeah and its an auto.CheersMichael.P.S.sorry if this is in the wrong thread.←Hi MichaelTry not to look just at the high numbers. It's (really) not that important. Look at how the power comes on. Please don't flame me you guys with big numbers cause I'm not having a go at anyone OK...Try and get the power to come on down low where you do most of your driving. That's where you're going to feel it as well. Especially when you have that Clubbie sitting beside you that you want to smoke at the lights. (Come on....we all want to do that...)You could say the high numbers are just a bi-product of a good (and some mind blowing) setups. If the dyno reads 300kw...don't just look at that figure....look at the journey of how it gets there. For street driving, the shorter the better. The mods you mentioned just happen to earn you 280-300kw but it really is irrelevant. Especially cause dynos can vary so much.Cheers

August 19, 200620 yr #14 Hey ypurv4. If you're in Sydney, go and see Michael at Tuffy Mufflers in Roseberry. He did a 4 inch system in mine which probably isn't necessary, but he could do the same system in 3.5 inch.
