says: "Performance - will produce up to 260 bhp"

The 3.2 does about 207 ish i recall?

I would be more tempted by an LS1 engine in 6.0 form, with a supercharger!

8.5:1 compression?  ;D

Ready for some forced induction then...

I don't think it's worth hauling that much iron around for 260 BHP.

LS1=5.7 litre all alloy V8 (earlier Monaro)
LS2=6.0 lire all alloy V8 (later Monaros)

Now an LS7, thats a real V8 engine!

Or even the eagerly awaited LS9

In this case, It'd be a device a bit like a watering can rose suspended above the engine and connected to the fuel pump.  ;D

Ow no, a 4 barrel weber or holley is much more sophisticated than that......it has the ability to vary the ouput of the watering can rose......

Ahh, if you want it to vary you've got to find someone who can do voodoo with jets and emulsion tubes and things. It's becoming increasingly difficult. :'(
