great seeing​ different motor setups and making solid times.

[@blueblood5297]

great to see it's not a LS V8

[@danielbrealey2924]

I agree, but damn it must have cost a bit more to build. Those heads alone. The price of the block. You could buy 2 LSX blocks for the cost of that Little Paw. LS3 heads cost $400 each from summit racing, and they flow 300 - 320cfm out the box I'm pretty sure

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Blue Blood I thought the holden 370s were just a 6.2L ls based engine? if not that would be silly to not use the solid base and build from there.

[@aussi3212]

yes holden hsv 6.2l LS3 are used in new hsv and SS models, but this is a Australian only holden 253ci-304ci-308ci-355ci based engine v8 with a aftermarket Holden block by a company called torque power, the only thing this engine shares with a late model 6.2l ls3 is cubic inchs, every single other part is totally different.

[@blueblood5297]

ShadowOfDeath24 Holden never made any bigger then a 308 with a stroker that made it a 5.7L so that's what I mean it's good to see

[@aussi3212]

blue blood, u are wrong Holden made a 349ci engine that came out in VS hsv gts-r, vs senators 220kw, vs grange 220kw, vt senators also came with a Holden 349, and when building a 355 stroker for a holden, VS onwards blocks are already clearance for a stroker crank. you can tell they are from the outside, as Holdens have always had the engine size cast onto the side of the block, blocks say 253 or 308, then later blocks say 5.0l on the side but when they bought out the factory strokers they are blank on the side were they once told of the size.

[@PontiacPOWA]

i bet the yellow guy in the right lane had to wipe himself after that pass lol

[@_sg843]

Hand's down the tuffest holden v8 getting around on the street... #longlivetheaussie5litre #holdenstrokertttheworld;)

[@oblvr8]

Sigrid Maele street ?? yea i doubt it very much

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Runs with IA-253 plates, beats an XD Falcon in the 1/8 mile final, nek minute new plates of XDEATA (XD eater).

[@danielbrealey2924]

Yeah, funny as. It was clearly taking a bit of a shot at Jason. Winding him up a bit!!! LOL!

[@XBullitt16X]

wow that much BHP on the same platform as the car, incredible!

[@fatTony666]

I wish my old Vb I Had When I was 18 went like that. Any chance of seeing it on a dyno Id love to see it hit full boost on a dyno

[@hughjass4564]

here comes the My xr6t will chop it because I have a high ego and I'm faster than everyone

[@oblvr8]

Kellan Pomeroy xr6 is junk lol and no it wont

[@hughjass4564]

CaRnaGe I know I'm just saying something xr6t owners usually say

[@tofyne]

Kellan Pomeroy I smell jealousy

[@hughjass4564]

Ferne Taylor not jealous of anyone just annoyed at people thinking they can chop anything in their Barra while they call Holden shit

[@yjkader]

Kellan Pomeroy 😂😂

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

Power in my mind comes with sound and this thing most certainly sounds pretty rowdy but I was hoping for more turboes because I am a whistle kind of guy I guess for as much horsepower this thing is making I was almost hoping for like a jet engine sound but eh it’s aight I can adjust I just really like the turbo whine if that’s how it is called

[@LsMaloo]

what the hell is with the sparks coming out of what looks to be the rear wheel wells when under load? can't be good.

[@thepartypotatopooper6354]

can someone explain how the intercooler piping setup?

[@joshg6et98]

Cool as fuck build.

[@powersliding]

thought slipstreaming was not allowed in drag racing

[@DukeNuggets69]

I guess the shrimp business allows you to have a quick car. I wonder how much time it will take for someone to pick up the reference.

[@pizzadude2786]

DukeNuggets69 3min forrest

[@3800TURBO]

I like that you can see it's used. You can see it's been apart 100s of times and its used and abused. Great car.

[@danielbrealey2924]

What was going on with all the sparks coming out the exhaust??? Is it eating up spark plugs, or pistons. That's the kind of thing you usually see in nitrous motors when they're eating themselves up...

[@azmartin1977]

It's willwood brakes and a mix of vs control arms and menser strut combo that still needs sorting out, the inside of the front disc where rubbing on the lower ball joint when the front end is raised. it was only just touching.

[@brettus9115]

Az Martin Not dangerous at all....going 180mph! 😜

[@TheCanadianBubba]

+Az Martin - You sure ? they really seem to be coming off the rear axle 1:08 - 1:11 best view i think, view in fullscreen

[@danielbrealey2924]

Az Martin Do you know Bubba personally do you? That's interesting if that's the case... I don't think that's as dangerous as some others may think- as long as it's monitored. But I do agree with our Canadian friend here- it DOES look like it's coming from the rear end. I just assumed that's where the exhaust exited and was coming from the motor

[@prokiller595]

Mickey T are rubbing the corner skirts, as it squats down the track. @1:07

[@caiodeoliveiraa]

@ 1:10 What are those sparks coming from underneath the car?

[@oblvr8]

Caio Garcia nothing good thats for sure

[@Autoholicqld]

Wow!

[@guyver33]

So fast yet so quiet, turbos do take some sound out of the exhaust.

[@deandyer5072]

take that Ford boys now what can the boys in blue say now 7 sec ford eta hahaha

[@TheCanadianBubba]

My bonzer brother from down under ?

[@13562153]

how do you drive a 6 point caged car on the street? I know you can engineer most of the other mods but no way can you engineer the 6 point cage. not sarcasm genuinely asking if you can engineer a 6 point on street over east?

[@oblvr8]

13562153 no nor can you run twin turbos housed like that or a chute lol

[@13562153]

damn straight but I was thinking he could remove the chute and 4 bolts for another bonnet change tyres and you wouldnt really know. the welded cage stands out to me.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

13562153 the ONLY downside to a cage is the weight and getting in and out. he could run everything else except the tires and be fine

[@user9005]

Whats all the sparks coming out of it?

[@danielbrealey2924]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Viralclown]

Daniel Brealey a Mexican forgotten under the car cutting out the tubs

[@EerieBetrayal]

sexy

[@ntsmith715]

Holden power better than LS

[@bitelaserkhalif]

plastic block

[@ausjengo5059]

its a opel not a holden

[@garyrehak5336]

AusJengo Depends on where you're from

[@ausjengo5059]

i am from australia but that car originates and designed in germany

[@daxphillips5469]

It's a holden commodore australian built.

[@ausjengo5059]

never said it wasnt built in australia just the origin off that car comes from germany

[@daxphillips5469]

Who really cares if it's designed in Germany as an opel. This is Australia so it's a holden commodore as stated.

[@yetidrunkallthetime7383]

LS is stolen Mopar Hemi technology.

[@aminya-car137]

Yeti Drunk All The Time it's actually ford but idk because I got that information from a Ford guy and you know how moronic they can be at times lol

[@ozziecollett3088]

LS doesn't run the spark plugs the same way a Hemi does, hence the the word Hemispherical, dunno where you got those facts from. Perhaps stop drinking all the time😉

[@callumjackson8954]

Takes 2 turbos compared to ford which only takes one to run 7's

[@danielbrealey2924]

You DO realise the number of turbos your running has no difference to anything, yeah?!? LOL! If anything, people have argued for years that a single will always make more power if used on the same motor. Two turbos aren't necessarily better than one dude. These Ford guys, geez. Always looking for excuses. Just read the plates at the end, dude...

[@nickdonahoosr81]

dumb ass the size of the turbos + boost counts !

[@callumjackson8954]

The fords an inline 6. That's a V8

[@danielbrealey2924]

Nick Donahoo Yep, that's what counts- not the number of turbos... LOL! People these day, sheesh

[@joshg6et98]

Callum Jackson Its just as easy to run two turbos due to two hot sides/exhaust manifolds. It's jury a cool thing to see. Has nothing to do with the boost they're running. Boost is boost, no matter where it comes from.

[@chillpill4936]

actually quite a boring car all round

[@tavisyoung7701]

Can your car do better?
