3.0 inlet manifold is larger


I thought it was just the divider?

WICKED!!!

Don't forget to leave the standard badges on it, and put something tacky like "I love my Saxo" sticker in the rear window, before leaving all-comers in hot hatchbacks driven by spotty teenagers and 20 somethings for dead.

I love street sleepers!!

I doubt it very much, quoted top speed of a VTS is 127mph so I would say it would be running out of steam at 115mph

Are you using a cut down version of the Omega rear subframe plus diff or an alternative smaller donor?

And a VTS is around 118bhp over a narrow power band.

V6 2.5 with 3.0 cams etc will be 200bhp over a wider power band
