If it's running DTA I've seen a KV6 with the VIS system de-activated and the flaps locked open, in fact I think Drew has the car now. It made very good low end torque even with all the stock inlet and it's flaps still in place, so with DTA you can map the torque curve.
I think with the increased flow from the inlet the the stock cams and valve train will be the limiting factor, to make the most of the new arrangement it would benefit from a compression hike and some nice cams.

What size exhaust manifold and secondaries are you going to run?

hi ya eddie
to be 100% honest i think we will have to wait for the R/R and see if it needs a bigger T/B or not never thought about a V8 one before
i do have a DTA for it but there are no vis valves on my car also i have the 270 cams in place with J/S manifolds and the rest of the zorst done and light weight flywheel all fitted

All the mods couple together should see some respectable gains, 210 to 220 I would be pleased with what's been done, I think you'll pick up a lump of torque through-out the range.
Just one last question, in the pictures on page 3 I see cable ties holding something in place under the air box, they look to be wrapped around the fuel rail?

i would like to see abit more than that but we dont know what it will gain and the cable ties was a test fit got all new fuel rails now

thank you

whats wrong with the normal zs throttle body, tbh i dont see any gain coming from a bigger t.b.
Is that all it needs, just a throttle body and then mapping on the rollers ?

[Ritchy]

its got 6 individual throttle bodys has it not?

oh had an look and it doesnt, thought it did:/

you could be right there may be no or little gain with bigger t/b think G did ask the main man at WSR and he said that as well but that was on the 2.0 v6 until she goes on the R/R we just dont know

whats left to do well the big things are mapping,t/b(may be or not ???) air box/induction and probably some small bits to do as well

awesome, you will have it back in a week or 2 max then, make sure you get some videos up asap. Were all waiting.......

That picture was taken during mock up.

There are no cable ties there now !
