Sorry, but a VS or VK V8 is road bait to me. Either way, I cant see these fans working that well. Even pushing that much air I doubt the difference in acceloration is dramatic.. especially with a stock set of headers which are far more of a restriction than the stock intake. Even if it does create a forced induction effect you are running a MAP based sensor designed to work on a vaccum setup. By adding forced induction and not remapping the ECU you are simply confusing it and probably running no where near its capabilities... if it works.

: bye bye fancy chip owners. just kidding.
I'm one of those "fancy chip owners" and only got about 6rwkw peak power increase. Of course, the overall spread and shape of the power curve was so different that it was far more than a simple peak 6rwkw could ever show.

Dyno numbers dont tell much of a story about real world drivability, at best its an indication. Give the ute a run down the 1/4, let me know the time it runs. Then we'll see whos saying byebye
