Interesting that you chose such a small cam? and why not 7.425" rods? It'll be interesting to see how much power this car makes with a before and after dyno run...if you're planning on it.

Nice looking berlina There !
I also like the audio install !
Just hope you can break the 280rwkw barrier. Don't want to see Piffs humble bolt on beat two cammed cars :p
This thread is long overdue for updates. :1peek:
So I'll just start by posting pictures of my new Pentagon rims which got fitted up yesterday.
The rim/ tyre combo is as follows:
20x8s fronts & 20x9.5 rears fitted with KUHMO ECCSTA 245 30R20 & 275 30R20.
Shadow chrome machined face.
The rims are obviously copies but I am very happy with the quality and how the compliment the car.

Gotta love the pentagon's! They look so good on ve's.
Wow that looks really sweet, nice to see a hot ve that's not red or black! Wheels look awesome too, set it off nicely.
they set the colour off very well. good job. :goodjob: Hmmm wonder how they'll look on a black ssv wagon?:eyes:

Cheers for the compliments guys! I get that reflex grin everytime I walk up to my own car - that's a good thing! Very happy with the choice of wheel.
Time to break out the Photoshop Nick! ;)Quote:

Great choice of rim Chris. i've got the Shadow pentagons on my Senator & the silver Pentagons on the tourer love them :goodjob:
mate that looks so awesome!! love the colour and the rims, go well together...The only thing that I was wondering is those weird mufflers on the back, they dont complement the car very well, set of stainless mufflers would give it a much cleaner look...awesome ride though!

Quick update.
A trip to the 1/4 mile recently resulted in a 12.7 @ 113.2 MPH
That was running on some shagged Turanza 225 rubber & on LPG.
Will now try and get the supercharger on before the next run.
Almost a year since I've updated this thread :confused:
Busy doing the mods instead of talking about them I guess :p
I finally finished the installation of the supercharger.
Back shed engineering and some great mates has given me what I believe could be the only Rotrex supercharged V8 Commodore?
Goes well and is very stealth (no rumbling or whining) until about 2500rpm when the chargers induction roar starts to sound like a jet engine. :)
Power is still pretty much untested and there is still a little left to be done with the tune.
Since last I updated this thread I have also installed a set of Yella Terra Roller Rockers (I had issues with the stock rockers fouling on a couple of the springs)
So to prevent a repeat of this:

I did this:

Due to all the mods I needed to keep an eye on Air Fuel Ratios...
So I installed an AEM analog AFR gauge:
