so its 190$ for the 70mm throttle body if a standard 5l throttle body is sent in for you to bore out?
or have i read that wrong ('changover' price)

We normally don't offer changeovers on these throttle bodies, however given the supply issues we're having we can do them at that price changeover.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Just wondering what you would recommend for upgrades on a budget?
will be going mafless with otr down the track, but at the moment with a limited budget, just wanna see what you recommend.
Have up to $1000 to play with at the moment. i know it aint much, but with a new bub on the way funds for my toy are
few and far between lol.

oops, forgot to say that the car is completely stock, and is a series 2 Vx ss. only thing done is NGK platinum plugs and MSD leads

cheers
David

To be honest, I would recommend Cold air intake, Exhaust and tune.

We can supply with an OTR, as shown below, and an mail order mafless tune (changeover) for $975 delivered

Alloy OTR Cold Air Intake To Suit Holden VT - VZ V8 - Mace Engineering Group

Other options to consider would be our 1.9 high ratio rockers (up from 1.7) and a 25% under driven harmonic balancer which the V8's respond to very well. Please see

HIGH RATIO ROLLER ROCKERS TO SUIT VT-VZ LS1-LS2 V8'S - Mace Engineering Group

VT II - VE GEN IV BALANCERS - Mace Engineering Group

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

thanks bart
i think i will go the otr package. sounds pretty good to me. what likely power increase should i get from that? i have heard mixed responses. some people paying 10-20rwkw, others saying anywhere from 30-50rwkw. its my first v8 so a lot of this stuff is new to me.

do you also sell diff gears, i was looking at buying clubby diff gears. i probably sound like a real dumb ass right now, lol but like i said this is my first v8. and i have never really modded a car to much before.

cheers

Hi David,

"i think i will go the otr package. sounds pretty good to me. what likely power increase should i get from that? i have heard mixed responses. some people paying 10-20rwkw, others saying anywhere from 30-50rwkw. its my first v8 so a lot of this stuff is new to me. "
10-20rwkw would be a good figure to work with, some people claim huge numbers but generally there would be other mods that would contribute to that figure. OTR's are also more efficient on the open road when heat soak isn't a problem like when your stuck in traffic in the middle of town.

"do you also sell diff gears, i was looking at buying clubby diff gears. i probably sound like a real dumb ass right now, lol but like i said this is my first v8. and i have never really modded a car to much before. "
Unfortunately we don't. You can try Holmart for brand new gears or contact your local diff shop who may be able to supply 2nd hand gear sets and install for you.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

Hey mace just wondering about these high ratio roller rockers are they all good to just chuck in or do they need a tune? For example my ls1 v8 is mafless tuned with otr and headers etc so would that likely cause problems and need to be retuned? Many thanks

Hey generic_kezza,

Thanks for your inquiry

Given the setup you have, they would be good to install, however for greatest gains would recommend getting the tune touched up to suit

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Hey mate,

I'm after some roller rockers for an ls1, what would be price + postage townsville north queensland?

And what improvements could I see after installing as well as get a touch up on my mafless tune ? I have heard it helps make a stock cam run a little better.
