Iron Lion Hit's the Dyno! || VR SS Episode 4

[@nicholaseden9883]

Excellent!! I’ve been thinking about one of those cams for my next 308, sounds awesome!! 💪🏼 💸

[@lukefeekings4404]

Is it possible to get a pice on this cam package how much for Labour and parts minus the computer upgrade just price on cam package and labour cheers.

[@wizard2755]

I got a manual VE SS wagon for my daily and a VR clubsport in the garage been doing nothing for the last 10 years since it blew another gearbox. This build video makes me want to rebuild my engine again stronger and get it on the road again, it’s been idle long enough.

[@russellpinkie9775]

The 5l, just sounds so much better than a LS, sounds like a proper V8, Aussie muscle 💪👌

[@MrDOHC1JZ]

I managed to get an edelbrock manifold for my 355 from Amazon US of all places. Did the owner end up getting it done?

[@SwaggingWithBen]

Nice series 🍻 Up the mighty Iron Lion! 🇦🇺👍

[@Mynty100]

Love the Holden 5L sound. just tough AF.

[@TorqHub]

How GOOD does that sound? Nothing quite like an Aussie 5L. And you're dead right, 250-odd hp sounds like nothing in today's era, but with the right set of diff gears would be fairly spritely on the street. Certainly a mid-low 13 second pass if the dude can pedal. Been pushing 330rwhp through my T5 for many many years on an unopened 304 with 11psi and while 3rd gear has a liiiiitle bit of noise, im surprised it hasnt let go yet haha. I do try to give it a fighting chance though. no flat shifting etc. Great series, well done blokes!

[@JoshPhoenix11]

It does sound good. I've also always loved the sound of the old 253, for some reason it had something wholesome and modest about the sound that the 308 and the 350 didn't seem to have.

[@triggeredleftyvegan6004]

I had a 304 and now a 355 but I have a soft spot for the early 253 sound wise.

[@brianx04]

I wanted to see the Haltech tuning software in action. Not your car reving up.

[@BoostGumps]

Cool story mate, you can download the software yourself and have a look - it's free....

[@francocozzo7235]

What a nice rig, I've got a VS Caprice with a 5L as well, they sound mint. These old girls seem to attract a bit of attention from Gen X, there's always some bloke in his mid 40s who comes over for a chat when they see a VR/VS SS or 5L Statto/Caprice at the servo.

[@backyardbangers1012]

That's pretty funny. Im 43 and love em and own one ss sedan and 1 5.0 litre vs ute. Lol. My question to you sir , gen x?.?? Like legends like triple x??? I hope you're not cottonwooled millennial gen???

It's good to see someone who has stuck with the old 5 litre and not do a LS swap! Great video boy's...

This was for sale on gummy

[@CaptainRedBeardarrr]

Cool vid and all but what sort of flogger gets around with those wheels on a car like that.

[@datdom34]

Be nice to see this one come back someday!

[@nafgthetruth3707]

Would the helltec be a good option if I'm to add a pro charger to my 304 in you opinion?

[@BoostGumps]

Absolutely!

[@Rigsky]

@@BoostGumps brother what are some of the benefits of running the whole haltech setup ? im only going big cam but what would be some of the reasons i should wanna run haltech instead of factory

[@TorqHub]

Procharged 5L... hnnnng!

[@patmcn1013]

What was the costing of all that to be done

[@chasroberts3613]

Loving the 5L stuff guys! They sound so tuff and go well in the lighter cars. Cant wait for the boosted 3.8 content!!

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

Great to see the old Holden up and goin. Awesome content Guys.👍🔥💯👏💨

[@gefforyoehm]

How was the torque curve and figure

[@triggeredleftyvegan6004]

Ive asked this before on other videos they have they won't reply with that!

[@fredkoraba4644]

What was the budget on it? Cause I have a 5lt vr ss commodore. I want to stick with the 5lt.

[@TorqHub]

Probably $12-15k 😬

Aussie iron all day

[@nathanvanlieshout7834]

I'm biased since I have a VS SS Ute but in my opinion, the 5L is the nicest sounding V8. We all knew the bunch of bananas manifold would be restricting. Very enjoyable to watch. My BMW E61 3L NA 6cyl is faster then my Ute but the Ute is more fun

[@BoostGumps]

100% agree with you. Hard to beat the throaty tough sound of a 5L!

[@backyardbangers1012]

How many cast iron old school chevs have you heard? My guess is none, can't beat that sound. Small or big block

[@DStead2239]

I heard those two clangs aswell. Tuff idle

[@nickgrech9634]

Awesome video guys!!

[@mrsabidji]

You ever figured out what the weird ping noise was? It was clearly audible from the outside. 🤔

[@bearded-clam]

Makes me miss my 5lt vr statesman

[@backyardbangers1012]

Ive got the vs ss. Similar colour same bonnet too. Basically looks like my car besides wheels n ride hight. Even got the clubby kit on it. Spun me out when i seen yours and have watched the series😎👍. Anyways all vs come out with speedo out by 5 kmh. 100kmh is actually 95kmh. Holdens attempt at slowing everyone down on the roads. I'd do a leakdown test then compression test when it's properly warmed rite up to make sure no lions have escaped the top paddock. Aren't they around 250hp stock? (185kw)??

[@BoostGumps]

185kw is rated at the crank, not the wheels.

[@TorqHub]

I was surprised this made 225rwhp stock TBH, must've been a Wednesday engine lol

[@pirateh00kar]

What sort of cam did you put in this? sounds pretty good!

[@BoostGumps]

Episode 2 went into depth on the cam selection 👌

[@FredricksonZak]

love it.

[@jacksonbermingham2168]

iron kitten ..fan of the holden 308 and 304 thats kinda depressing .. plus u showed hp when really the old girls are all about torque.. there's quiet alot of after market high end gear coming out now higgins heads

[@hayden6056]

Torques right there in the same graph just need to read it.

[@CryptoShark888]

Lez go! 🤠

[@paullutherborrow637]

What about a Torque-power high rise dualplane Aussie made and good for upto 500+HP Surly a TP from Craig would be available?

[@BoostGumps]

I would be all about a TP Manifold! But unfortunately they are in the same boat. Impossible to get. Anything from TP at the moment is hard, we wanted to use their bellhousing for the Barra-T400 HQ we are building but couldnt get one of those either.

[@Berniessen]

The old 5l is far from A modern v8 but they are not worthless,they have the torque down low in the rpm range witch make them fun to drive if u dont like revs they are reliable and they are not the worst with fuel if not been floored and they sound so awesome vs any other v8..

[@justaaussie]
