I reakon you'd be looking at around 170rwkw as a rough estimate.
But there's really no way as telling until you get it on a dyno as results from cars identical can vary so much.

I got 233rwkw (approx 300fwkw) out of my VY Maloo with exhaust and simple intake mods. It was rated as 260 fwkw from factory so quite an improvement with those mods.

yeah i seen your r8 do that at the dyno day bet you was thinkin SWEET AS right?

[dwaynE]

things like how well the car is maintained... km's and even how the car was run in will effect the power output... (i rekon run in method blah is why the LS1's vary so much)

but i would think with 215kw at the fly you should easily have 160kW at the wheels.
to get to 200....
i'm not sure you could do it with just bolt on's
but exhaust and intake would be an ideal place to start...
don't forget to check each mod you do on the dyno to see if it really did make a difference...
cause its no good putting a cold air intake, big throttle body, full exhaust, chip and stuff on all at once and finding you've only made a 15kw at the wheels improvement.
cause one or more of these mods might have actually lowered the performance a bit. so testing each, one by one will help you find out what actually worked good, and what mods were done cause bill's mate fred heard from jan that harry did this and now his car goes sick.

I know where there's a Walky TTB manifold

Exhaust and cam... you will be well on the way to 200+rwkw.

There were 2 cars on the dyno day, the maroon VNSS (sv 5000 kit) and the Grp A which both did over 200rwkw.
The VNSS had extensive engine work, was stroked to 5.7ltr and pulled 240rwkw, The VN Grp A was still a 5ltr and had the compression raised, good cam with a free flowing exhaust and pulled around 220rwkw.

So your 1/2 way there being a factory stroker

Id be thinking somewhere around the 160-165 mark, maybe we can organize a dyno day in the future ??

and kinda what not go to crazy right now maby a bit later

You can buy a come manifold for about $2750, it flows about the same, looks trick and in most cases its cheaper than the walkie 1. othere benifit is is that it hasnt been hangin around since 1988

Baaahhh... Heritage m8 That's where it's at!!! at the end of the day the walky set up is going to worth a lot more than COMES sheet metal based unit

[JUSTRY]

It is now but it aint really worth it

Look walkie manifold is old tech while COME is new skool.Plus there is a few mods to do to your bonnet to get a walkie manifold to fit undera VR-VS.With COME it fits without any mods done to the bonnet.

Yeah, I think that's definitely a good idea, I'd be in that for sure...

the walky and the vn ttb will fit under the bonnet ive seen them under there with no mods

VR, VS the walky manifold will fit however the bonnet needs to be cut to fit to VN, VP
