Please check the Forum Guidelines at the top of the Newbie section
Have done the 3.0L downpipes, to stop the 420 codes.
The cams will give a bit acceleration,.
As for a manual gearbox, you only have two feet.
Six things which are a waste of time and money.
Fit a manual box and call it done
Two questions...
1. Will the gearbox last more than five mins?
auto box is bullet proof used in all the holdens and corvettes .. you can buy hi stall torque convertors for them aswell to aid launches off line
2. Is a half second gain on the 0-60 time worth £4k plus box?
who mentioned 0.5sec gain ?? i didnt .. with 300bhp and good gearing you probobly looking around 6 secs to 60 in comfort and a car which will surprise everyone..
the question was never asked on opinion on money or worth it for however quicker it makes it...
just had anyone done certain things and did certain things fit or not
Ten out of ten for imagination though
Manual Plod Omega will do that 0-60 without any mods

My auto does it thays what was saying and as standard they are not slow so with 300ish bhp should be nippy for size of carYou may find using the German exhaust manifolds a challenge as they don't consider the presence of the steering box on the 1-3-5 bank side (as its on the 2-4-6 side for the left hooker).
Would be very interesting to see the V6 with throttle bodies although I do wonder if it would be easier on the wallet to use bike throttle bodies and get a manifold knocked up.
