Turbo on the other hand,bigger cooler,injectors,cat pipe and tune, 300 rwkw give or take a few kw ( std FG used as an example). I know what id rather have.bang for your bucks you just cant match them. I still love my holdens but am i glad i saw the light!

I noticed a big difference Ls2 to Ls3. My cammed manual Ls2 clubby made only 310rwkw (although had the standard tri-y hsv headers) but my LS3 auto Maloo made 300rwkw with just OTR and tune. Clubby tuned at Hi Torque on the GOld coast and Maloo at Powertorque so both respectable Tuning shops for LS cars.
in other words it cost me with exhaust, cam etc $7000 To get that out of the Ls2 whereas I got 300rwkw out of the auto Maloo for $1500.. big difference looking at it that way. Maloo bang for buck is almost at turbo level
