      Take off the big brakes and it will kick out more than 558 kilowatts, mate.
      There's a few fellas here in the states that did the same thing with the Hellcat series, mopars.

      I dont think so a set of headers/extractors , I would put ceramic coated I bet they don’t do that , ceramic coating keeps more heat in the exhaust that would cost you $2,000 , you can buy the injectors on eBay fit another $1 grand , a Dyno tune might cost you about $300 upgrades valves and cam around $3000 that’s about $7000 so far so they are charging about $5,000 to fit all that whatever that’s way overpriced , as I’m a Auto technician I would do all the work myself and enjoy doing it and save myself the bullshit $5,000 cost in fact the $5,000 left over I would bolt on a turbo with would put out more power than this , I have seen street cars with LS1 with huge turbos on them that don’t even gain traction that put out more power than that

    11.6 on the standard street tyres, from a car that retains 100% factory warranty is bloody impressive... yes you can run faster with aftermarket tuners, mods etc but that's not the point....this kit is ONLY running 10psi which is nothing, and you can order it from factory!! For majority of people, this is an incredible option.

      Being close to out of the factory warranty, id suggest looking around for cheaper and better resulting tune shops.
      I personally think turbo power kicks supercharged ass for power.
      Look into ( TIG INDUSTRIES OR ASE ) for 10k u could have a SV clubby that would walk this W557 by a loooooong way over the QT.

      Hey mate, sorry on late reply.
      I have no idea on "reputable" tune shops up ur way.
      I live in NSW though know a few places in Perth/SA/VIC.
      Ur best bet would be to log onto the HSV forum and ask as many questions as u need answered.
      Most of the Holden/ford forums guys are more then willing to help out on advise.
      Id steer u towards - 1/78 headers into dual 3" difflipo exhaust with hooker aero mufflers.
      OTR intake and a nice street Cam like the VCM5SE or similar.
      Manual or Auto buddy?

      Tell u right now, no one gives a stuff about how the dash looks when the road infront of them is moving in a blur.
      As for ur brakes tripe..... 6pot fronts 4 pot rears..... keep reading mags mate, they tell pure truth on the matter.
      Suspension..... shockworks setup for a very nice ride without the 15k extra price hsv charge for a lesser setup.
      Or 25k on the W1 for a 8k setup brought directly.
      Dont get me wrong, i love the ve/vf series but u can do it all for much cheaper and get better results if u know what to do.
