dont hold me to this 
BUT
not an awefull lot ...... from what i have heard if you put 2.5 heads on a 3.0 it will heighten comprssion ratio a little .....
BUT again
I have also been told 3.0 have bigger valve's ...... :-/ and without ever having a 2.5v6 head to compare i still odnt know rea;lly.
BUT what i do know ....
3.2 heads are the same as 3.0- heads
:-?........ not that it helps you though..
we will see what others say..

oh yeah forgot brakes...... well either go mad and get some AP's ...... or simply upgrade discs and pads to something like EBC redstuff pads and cross drilled disc's.... for best value.... was told get some GTO calipers as they fit straight on and are twin piston supposed to normal single piston.......
me id get EBC discs and pads front and get hold of some later 2.6 / 3.2 rear calipers and discs as these are vented and not solid type.....
suspension well ... i have coilovers on mine and i would see this is by far the best set up.....BUT belive me not cheap!!!!!!!! ... cost effective get some uprated springs / shocks and this will def help.

have read plenty about this though ........ problem you have is the conrods on 3.0 are the weak point due to their lack of width! thats why everyone seems to agree on 250bhp being the max for this engine reliably... and cost effectivly....
so as for NOS i did read some guy putting 100bhp through his at santapod so was making in region of 350bhp on just a standard / mild state of tune engine... prob is how long it lasted i dont know and he did say clutch was no way up to it....
it can prove to be expensive as well as it seems NOS is around the £5 a pound to fill .. average bottle 11lb.. so call it £50 and prob lasta couple mins tops........ my old 325 Msport had 75bhp jets and full to empty in 1min 40 sec's!!!!!!
Dont get me wrong The engine has been tuned up to around 420BHP in a normally aspirated state of tune by Swindon Race Engines though this will set you back £18k + vat

« on: 15 May 2007, 11:17:20 »
they will go on no problem chances are offset wont be much different to omega ones anyway.........
as for tyre size.... working on 235/45/17's which are fitted to 17" alloys on omega - for the 18's you would need 235/40/18's the differnce between these 2 is only - 0.3% or 1.9mm in diameter.....as 17's are 643.3mm and the 18's would be 645.2mm...... so these are basically the same.
infact if your speedo was 100% correct to start with ........... 70mph would be 70.21mph with the 18's
hope this helps and doesn't confuse

end of day as long as you insure car as Private car which it is and basically as it says on log book... your covered!!!!!! as mentioned before i used to be motor underwriter for AXA/guardian insurance....... if they was any discrepancy's at all ..... we simply went by log book...... which as long as its standard / any mods declared fully covered!!!!!!!
insrance company's have lists of cars and no matter if its ex-police, goverment liason etc etc if its an elite or and mv6... thats what it is!!
