im looking at a cam upgrade soon, but not sure on how big to go, i want something kinda bigish but not so much for a daily driver, all suggestions are welcome.

I would recommend Texas Speed's 228R - 228/228 .588/.588 -112 LSA.
On a C4B LS1 with bolt ons 300rwkw is realistic to obtain so a std LS1 with tickled heads will also get this fairly easily.Wilth a good tune it would also be suitable for daily driver duty's if required.

:drool:

How clean is this thing!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great mate and will be perfect with a decent cam in it. A few of the boys on here have had great results with cams around the 224/228 size, just do a bit of a search around the forum

:goodjob:

[Nidz]

Wowzers.. You don't see many around in this colour.. Love it.. Awesome stuff!

[TAKEITEZ]

nice ute adam...
looks great in this colour too... you don't see many at all in this green.

[wikky]

Sweet ute mate! Love the colour and fantastic looking package. :goodjob:

[[PHATSS]]

looks so tuff. one of HSV's nicer colors

[berroca]

wow
one of if not THE tuffest looking malloo's i have seen
looks mental mate

as for your cam upgrade i reckon something 23x X 23x range will sound real angry and nice with that exhaust :D

[carpa]

love the tail pipes aswell as the colour

[lippsy]

Bet you drove in really hard for those plates!!

Very nice ute mate!

I've never really been a fan of the green but seeing what you've done with it may have turned me!

[macca33]

Great rig mate - I agree HSV Racing Green is THE colour to have - wish mine was that colour as it looks classy as.

cheers

[sszkid]

Looks great, really nice and clean. Dont change a thing it is perfect!

[adam_mcm]

thanks for all the kind words people, nice to see others appreciate it as much as i do. Some of you may hate me but i have to say that this is my first V8 and im still loving it, pretty used to the power though which is why im keen to cam it.
I have been thinking myself something in the high 220's (226, 228ish) might still be pretty streetable. Does anyone have any advice on how the standard clutch stands up to a 232/234? Chirs i might take you up on that drive sometime, didnt know you lived in the bayside now actually.

Many of you have mentioned the colour, and yes its awesome haha, and one pretty rare, i think more common on the vx-vu series, but i have seen one other vy sedan driving around a couple times near my area, also a gto, and my brother has a vx clubby in racing green also. Kind of a case of when you own one you notice others more.

tailpipes - i actually first wanted something that angled down but there was some problems for some reason with that when brian was making it and he suggested these ones so im now glad they are on it. I think he called them F1 style tips for anyone wondering, and they fit the cut outs perfectly. i hate seeing maloos with tips that arent the right size or shape.
