The Outlaw Motorsports Garage tunes
Holden Monaro CV8 '04 "BST Beast"
Recently got involved as a tuner for the
BST V8 challenge S2 "The new breed" series. Since there is a break between season one that they've just finished and the start of season two which I'll be doing some tuning for, the series organizers decided to run a short single model series over a couple of days. This car provides a baseline tune for that mini series the
BST Monaro cup!
I'm confident some of the drivers will find this a good place to start their fine tuning of this performance gem hailing from the land down under. For those not familiar with the car it is a two door coupe fitted with the same 5.7 litre V8 as you find in the Corvettes. After giving it full race prep that includes removal of every ounce of unnecessary weight and adding a supercharger to the engine amongst other power upgrades you have a car producing over 700hp and 700ft-lb torque. With or suspension and aero upgrades the car earns the title of "Beast". Strap in and get ready for one fast ride!
