To make the change, Walkinshaw adds a supercharger to boost the output to 604 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque, with a water-to-air intercooler keeping things in check under the hood and a new exhaust keeps things grumbling out back.<\/p>\n<p>Making sure you, your family and your groceries don&#8217;t end up in a ditch is a tuned, lowered suspension with new springs and dampers to handle the gumption. And of course, new body parts and 20-inch wheels do the business in the parking lot. The whole thing will get you to 62 mph in under five seconds. You can also mix-and-match, seeing that the parts are available a la carte and good for any Holden VE offerings.
