To save me reading through this complete thread. Have a simple question for those that have done it. Does changing shocks make a big difference to handling of VF2 SS. I purchased my car with Walkinshaw lowering springs in it already and has now done 40k on them. I want to get it handling better...

Id have to kind of agree with this. The standard 304kw is enough for 99% of daily driving. Unless you want to race it or something. If I had my time again and in hindsight. Driving my stock auto one a few years back was all I really needed. Sure its nice having over an extra 100kw now. But...

Yeah I was expecting more. But I guess compared to a W407 setup its still better than that. Mine was on BP Ultimate for the tune before cam. Then on the new NPD 100 octane here in NZ. For the cam tune. So that should of also helped.

Car came with W375 already fitted. So cant compare to stock. I did have a stock VF2 SS before this car. But was auto, so cant compare exactly to this one being manual. But W375 does feel better. Although I think auto was easier to get power out of it in daily driving. Was not too loud with the...

If you want a comparison between non camed and camed on same dyno. Here is my graph going from Walkinshaw W375 kit with a tune. To getting the cam done a few weeks back. Mine is manual and for the gains I got vs cost. Dont think for performance id do the same again. Cam was 224/232 112lsa

Id say it is for sure. Ive just had a cam done in my and dont really find it that much better. Just sounds nicer. Gives a bit more in the top end, but not where you use it daily. Having the exhaust done previously, I noticed much more than the cam.

Do you mind me asking roughly what it cost. Ive already got lowered (Walkinshaw) springs. But looking to put some short shock in also.

Just had my cam installed 224/232 112lsa. Interesting tune from generic W375 to custom tune (1 picture) gave more increase than (2 picture) with the cam install. Also cam was tuned on higher octane. But it does sound much better.

Perfect, thank you.

Does anyone have a dyno sheet they can post from a Walkinshaw W407 tune. Had a W375 kit on my car. Just had a cam done now also 224/232 112lsa. Gains were not a lot from a custom W375 tune. But im happy with it. But be interested what sort of curve official W407 kit does.

Ok perfect thanks. I’ll stick to the 50-60k like HSV with good oil.

Does Holden have service intervals for the VF2 SS diff and gearbox oils. Ive read through service book and cant see in it service intervals where its changed. Ive got a W375 manual and getting a cam put in it this week. Going to change manual gearbox oil at the same time. Just shop say the...

Ok, cheers Smashfest. Mine goes on dyno next week after mods complete. Guess I’ll see how it goes. But I think I’ll be saving for a new clutch

Bringing up an older thread.. But does anyone know the max kw and torque rating for the standard VF2 manual clutch. (cant find it with google searches) I know the TR6060 gearbox is pretty bulletproof. But is putting 340kw (at wheels) and 800nm through the clutch to much for the factory one after...

So after talking with local shop and trying to figure out best cam for my car. Suggestion is I go for a 228/236 with either 112 or 113 lobe with .600 lift. Is anyone running this as seems not the most common cam. My aim is for mid range power.
