Yes the memcal number is a 185kw manual VR someone else might know the knock board number. Price? seems a bit expensive but they are getting hard to get. You will need to wire in a knock sensor as well. Not sure on the ECU pin number.

The freq of knock with a 100mm bore is about 7khz and the 96.5 is about 6.8 from my research. I wonder why there are so many different numbers for 6cly boards. Just what is the difference between them? Product improvement?

Contack MACE, Steve has some genuine HSV memcals that he'll sell for a lot less than what that ebay listing is asking.

Bahhh, I was never fan of the Walkinshaw model, to much body kit for me, wouldn't mind getting hold of the intake manifold though, there still isn't much better for an EFI Holden V8.

Just read the bin and upload it here on the website.

Are you going to be writing/burning your own tune?

If so, you can read it as well using the GQ4X.


Either that or send it to one of the local guy from the forum to get it read first, or ask Steve if he hasn't sent it yet.
