Red face More torque required...yes im a torque whore.

Lads,

As you know I've had the TD05-18G on my car for a while now. Initially it had a cold air intake but I switched back to the air box about 2 months ago and lost 10Nm of torque (initally was 226kw/375Nm).

Car currently makes 228kw/365Nm. Doesn't exactly pull hard (at least from the drivers seat), it's just very smooth once past 3000rpm (makes ~330Nm @ 6300rpm) and goes okay, just feels sluggish.

The TD04 + Butler TBE made 153kw/400Nm (but it made bugger all torque after 4000rpm...under 200Nm @ redline) but it felt awesome when it did hit.

I'm after more torque and the only things I can think of are reinstalling the CAI and doing a set of UEL headers (ultrex headers) + retune in search of that magic 400Nm mark again. Reason I ask is plenty of cars on here recently are hitting that on stock VF52's, Dave's Foz is hitting 420Nm with an 18G as well.

Any suggestions, thoughts?

Cheers,
Shane.

Yeah those two things are the only thing I could think of as far as bolt-ons go.

400hp = bigger e-peen

I'll take all the help I can get in that department, so 400hp everyday of the week.

Shane, EL headers will get you more torque and quicker spool if you can handle sounding like a Honda with a fart cannon.
