Ahh the old greemfoam memcals, I reckon a good few people on here started out with them, I certainly did. The greenfoam tunes is one of the main things that got me interested in EFI tuning in the first place.

Re: Sluggish vp t5 v6
Bought set of 15x8 48p chasers from bci wheels...just got 275/60/15 simmons tyres put on which look huuuuuge.
Other night in darkness swapped out lower control arms to braced & notched items....with vl diff,15x7 43p chaser 255/60 tyre was 10mm clearance now roughly 25mm.
Raining today so can't do much.

Re: Sluggish vp t5 v6
This is 2nd attempt at vk sedan tank by different fabricator.
Because it's shallow small tank needed ve intank can only use vy setup on bigger/deeper tanks...unfortunately no return line so will have to add that in later on.
Also ve sender is wrong for factory guauge.
Now it will clear the boot floor & clearance issues if want to swap it between different cars.
Wanted bulked to keep tank serviceable also drain bolt underneath.

Carby?
What thermostat housing is that? Pointing a different way.
Looks really good though.

Yes carby setup mainly for simplicity & swap drivelines between different cars.
Engine is fairly angry probably too wild to be regular cruiser with big solid cam 5.5k stally etc it's more like race setup that will get driven occasionally...bucket list dproject that started 20 years & not what I'd do nowadays.
If started over would be mild efi 304 with vortech strapped on or n/a ls 5.3 alloy block stroked to 7 litres.
