With all the stuffing around for bits at bunnings/wreckers a like you would have been better off having an 8 full stop
bah hum bug about the fuel gauge, want to go fast you pay 6pack or 8, nickle dime difference in the big picture.
Good vids by the way Stav.

Yes that AU was for sale a while ago, was a basically stock XR8 with a blower. I looked at buying it, but the guy hadn't had it all that long, bought it, didn't seem to know alot about it, and then pretty quickly sold it whick made me a little sus.

But sounds damn hot all the same!

And that 800hp vid, in a ute?! Damn!

782 hp on the dyno for the ute..hahah awesome. I know we can engineer a supercharged six but can it be done properly to an 8?
