Another point to consider is the VH is cheaper, parts are easier to get, puts out the same amount of power stock and still weighs less then an RB engine and transmission! The VH being a V8 also has a fantastic torque curve instead of spiking like many boosted engines, such as RB’s and some SR’s do it travels up nice and slow yet starts out with power from the get-go. Once boosted, be it a turbo, turbos or supercharged the VH powerband jumps and when tuned properly will still follow a great flat curve and depending on the type of forced induction, that curve may start at 2500 RPM’s! Starting out with some simple ECU tuning and nothing else the VH45 will see 270ft/lbs of torque
