VY Commodore NA tune / APS Style

[APS Luis]

Some good results with a VY Commodore , no doubt this has probably been done dozens of times before - but the conversion / transformation on this car really amazed me, so I thought I'd put up some pics (we all love pics:))

Engine out ( the easiest way ) for cam / spring/ header/ torque convertor package -

We dismantle engine, remove camshaft & timing chain - all parts go into hotwash

Strapped down and ready to run...

After some fuel & spark adjustments, this will surely put a smile on the owners face!

Thanks Tom - We've had LS1's tune with a lot more power, but the before and after with this car was great - this one had a very discreet cam - and the power delivery was so smooth, and practical.

hally - 225/232 , just a standard grind really.
