    281? That's a really good respectable number for a 304 brothers! I was hoping to see 250 to be honest. To get 281 out of such a small displacement V8 is really really good. That'll get that wagon rolling out. 281 without ANY boost is crazy good! Just think of how it'll be when it gets 14 psi and is making close to 500...

    The front brakes on my dads old 1972 model HQ Kingswood were far better than the VB-VS Commodore front brakes,it wasn't until Holden released the VT Commodore that they fitted some decent brakes.
    If that's 281rwhp, that's very respectable for a stock Holden 5 litre V8,when the LS1 in my VY was first tuned it was fitted with custom 1 5/8" primsry Press bent headers which had bends crushed to 1 3/8" & the mufflers were only 2.25 inch units.
    The power increased from 203 rwkw before the tune up to 221 rwkw afterwards (276 fwkw),now I've fitted a set of Genie 1 5/8" primary press bent headers & a twin 2.5" Redback exhaust system.
    When I got my rego done last Monday,they snuck it off to a dyno tuner where they reflashed the PCM & now it has more like 300 fwkw out of a stock LS1 engine
