Home of Australia ’s fastest V6 Alloytec.

Hi Mr Rich,

The CPR6 Fits Rear Wheel drive Commodores & NOT the SIDI that is now sold in Australia . So if the 2010 CAMARO is the same as 2004 VZ to 2009 VE Commodore it will fit.

Thanks for your inquiry about the Australian made revolutionary CPR6 intake manifold which fits the 3.6 Alloytec engine.

We guarantee an instant power increase of 20rwhp with better fuel economy.

The manifold will add 20rwhp to any Alloytec, regardless of what modifications you already have. If you have an exhaust system fitted,

you will still add another 20rwhp to the car by adding the CPR6.

A HP tune is not necessary but will increase the gains by an extra 10-15rwhp, a total of 35rwhp.

The CPR6 manifold comes with new gaskets and longer bolts that are required for fitment.

It takes little more than an hour to fit and can be done by anyone with basic mechanical knowledge.

Because the process is so simple, you can easily swap back to the standard manifold if you ever sell your car,

and put the CPR6 on your next Alloytec, so it's a solid investment in extra power.

The RRP of the CPR6 intake manifold is $1900 inc GST.

Performance Manifolds is offering a SPECIAL of 15% OFF RRP, $1615 inc GST AUD.

To purchase the CPR6 simply fill out the purchase order that is attached & return it.

Payment can be made by direct debt into our account or we now offer debt & credit card facility.

For any queries at all please don't hesitate to give me a call on 0439 793 705.

Two hours, four spanners, extra Horsepower.
Bolt on & enjoy!

Regards Phil Corbet
Performance Manifolds Pty Ltd

I'm pretty close to Little Elm (Carrollton). What's the deal with this?

[rhd]

the shop is in arlington, its rmstexas.com the guys name is alex tell him john told you about the manifold for his camaro annd go from there

[Rich De Young]

COOOOOOL....Bring on the Intake manifolds...Cam next, lol..

I want one. I would love to hear the HP gain. I honestly think, alot of people would buy a Custom Intake Manifold and Throttle body if you could show a large gain in HP.

[Bumblebee10]

with the 2011's having a higher horsepower rating, can I safely say my 2010 V6 has the same HP at the 2011? It is the same engine

yes everything is the same. you can say 312hp if you want.

During the Hot Rod Power Tour I discussed what I had learned from the two dyno runs with a person walking into the Mid America Motorsports facility as follows:

1. Hytech Motorsports DynaJet Dyno 241 HP 224 TQ regular gas 87 octane

2. St. Paul Automotive Mustang Dyno 264 HP 222 TQ preimum gas 92 octane

The person then identified himself as an engineer from GM Performance Division and the results are exactly what we should expect from the 217 CI 3.6L V6. He then stated with 100 octane gas the engine can produce ~300 HP at the rear wheels or 371-375 HP at the driveshaft. WOW! Why buy a V8?

On the Hot Rod Power Tour I achived 24.79 MPG over 2868 miles driven. The high 29.6 MPG and the low 19.1 MPG. That was stop and go in towns, 55-85 MPH running on the highway, back country roads and 3 bursts to 125 MPH with a lot left to go. The figure also includes a one day 1272 mile, 19 hour 30 minute ride home. Holly crap thats 65.23 MPH average speed. A new personal best.

So if you are thinking of buying a new Camaro definetily consider the V6 engine.

The Hot Rod Power Tour was a blast. Three mornings I was up at 5::00 AM to get the 1st or 2nd spot at the start along with the fire engine green Mercury Cyclone. Six Hot Rod magazine wed site pictures were taken of my car.

Hope this ranting has been of some value to others. I would highly recommend doing the Power Tour at least once, a 7 day car show. I think I died and went to gear head heaven.

[wreckedmycar]

just to say... my tank of gas with regular unleaded fuel gives me about 460 miles!! and its only getting better as the weeks go by. when i first bought it i was lucky to get 390 miles.

On my 2011 2lt v6 I only get about 16 mpg on short (2mile +) stop and go trips intown. Worst possible conditions for good milage. On regular city driving with some freeway some traffic lights and 10 mile + trips I do better with maybe 18 mpg. However on the highway ( not flat straight interstate) up and over the Cascade Mts here inOregon on a 200 mile rt, I got 28 mpg. That was measured the old fashioned way dividing the miles driven by gallons used. My dic milage is close but sometimes varies from calculated milage by up to 1 mpg. Over all I'd say the estimates for our milage on our camaros is fairly accurate. Everyones driving conditions can be very different. This was using our mandated 10% ethanol. Id love to run on a full tank of real gas. It would be at least 1-2 mpg better. Also I have an auto trans. fyi
