I love that everyone told you to keep going and we’re super supportive! You will get it next time scotty!!!!!!

can we all agree that this is one awesome sounding Super Mang?

I love this. Reminds me of when I was living in WA in 2001 and racing my BT1 5 speed. Had a volvo 740 intercooler in it, press bent cooler pipes, an extra injector wired in, 3" exhaust, and a simple boost tap at 15psi. I raced and raced and raced that thing trying for a 12. I eventually got there, running a 12.8 @ 108. Was so stoked, because everything I did to it was SUPER budget, I thrashed it and it never missed a beat. 12's are a certainty with 3:45 gears.. lovin this Scotty. Cheers for a great vid, and well done to Lance and everyone at HPR for always being so supportive

Best way to start the day, with a little carnage 🤘🏼

What a great video Scotty and Kian! Spewing you didn't get into the 12s - but low 13s on 205 street tires is pretty bloody impressive! Hopefully someone out there has some 3:46s they can throw your way to get the job done! Also - what a ripping bunch Lance and the boys are for the track time and the constant encouragement - Hope you got em a slab! Cheers - Marc

The MPH is definitely there to get high 12s good work Scotty !

I gotta say, I do like the stock look of the VN, so if you can at all costs avoid cutting the bonnet. It helps with the stealth appeal. I'm sure you will get that 12, you're not one to sit by and complain when you don't achieve something. Sounds like gearing would help. Also the intake temps with the M90... it sure is a heatpump!

Keep pushing it Scotty, you’ll get there. I love following this story and what SM have done on a budget.

Top work Scotty! Love this car (and I'm a Ford guy) can't wait to see it keep evolving 👌

I’m loving the Supermang series. I’m really looking forward to seeing how far you can get with the blower and then how much further you can get with a turbo pushing 25psi of boost.

Thanks for a year full of great videos Scott and Co!

Fricken awesome Scotty! Take that wind away & SUPERMANG is right there! Mad Burnouts on those last two runs that's what we wanna see. Love this car it makes me miss my old VN ha ha, was the same colour too. Keen to see what you do with it next cheers!

Good to see Lance still gets pumped up

Thanks for another great video mate .Love the enthusiasm Keep up the great work boys

so so close, next time for sure. Bring on 2022 so many builds to race and smash PB's. keep up the great work Scotty and team carnage!

That is awesome. I had the same issue with my old IS350. Changed to 17 inch 235/40 AR1 Nangkangs and took two tenths off the 1/8 mile. The smaller diameter helped. The weather and Covid restrictions beat me as now I know that car would have been up on my PB of 13.27. Never got to run it in the coldest days in winter. I reckon either smaller diameter tyres or 3.36 gears and that 12 will come. My goal next year is a 11 in the ISF. That is a tall order.

The best part of this video is Scotty pirouetting in his KT-26s A few adjustments to the car and it’ll get 12s-the launch is killing it 🤞

Spewing for you and the elusive 12 Scotty!!!! Great to see Kian made the trip down the road and to have a dragstrip all to yourself that's the best Christmas present right there!!!!🍻👍

If it was easy, everybody would be running 12s. Congrats on the new PB.

Mate , a PB and you were able to drive it home. Thats a win mate!

Honestly really really glad you haven't done the intercooler yet and did radials.... call it a blessing 🙌

yeeeeeeeeh Scotty, good work guys!

Love how it does chirpies into 2nd.

K frame spacers can help , with my vx I cut the bonnet web/frame to fit the w2a kit. 3.45 gears are perfect for l67s don’t go higher or you will be clicking into 4th accross the line

Man I love this super mang series I've watched every episode. Since this series has been uploaded my partner and I bought a VT Calais super6 about 4 months ago for $1500 with rego. We are in the process of getting her up to scratch and we'll be adding an exhaust, charger pully and cold air intake ready for all aussie day in April 2022 at lakeside

Your a legend Scotty and a true car guy. Much respect.

I know I mentioned the Water to Air cooler. But for a temp solution. Why not try a Water/Methanol injection in the intake to get the temps down.

Hahaha wet myself at 18:52 ish. "Do a bigger burn out"! Tisk tisk, Scotty to hotty! 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, just a normal shed type build in a standard real street car going laps. Water sprayed into the throttle would cool it down within a minute. When I had a life and raced the xf I'd do exactly this before each run and it made the intake cool to touch. No fancy shit, just a hand pump spray bottle. Love your style, have a great Xmas everyone at street machine 😀

Yeah buddyy, another episode greetings from The Netherlands ✌

cheers lance and the boys legends almost there scotty

It looks so warm there. Watching this trying to warm so I can finish fixing my exhaust on my volvo 740 in 26°f weather.

Keep at it mate you will get there so so close

Scotty, you don't have to predict times and horsepower numbers. Nobody expects it and you just make it hard on yourself.👍

You are a legend Scotty , Merry Christmas mate all the best to you and your family .

Nice scotty, carnage 👍👌 we can't wait to see you crack 12

I run 3.73's in a daily, with a bit of tuning fuel economy is no worse than with stock 3.07 gears and go well with the 4L60e transmission ratio's.

difference between Scotty an the hater know it all's is Scotty is honest an he tries, Scotty shows his failures an when things don't go as planed/hoped which is far more than can said for the know it all haters... fuck the haters........ well done Scotty .......

As a bigger bloke like you Scotty I wonder how many passes that seat will take before it snaps the back rest or cracks the floor mounts! I used to brake them in early Commodores all the time 😂

Scotty needs to cut back on the donuts 🍩 then he might hit the 12s 😂😂

Well even though it didnt hit the 12s you should be proud of having I think the best sounding v6 commodore around

Big burnouts woohoo scotty

You know you’ve landed on your knees when you’ve got a White VN parked in the driveway You’ll get it Scotty

3.56 or 4.11 rear gear. I could hear it bog down in the upper gears. The chirp from 1st to 2nd was cool

Awesome work 💪💪💪❤❤🔥🔥

Loving this supermang series! Will definitely hit the 12s with 3.45 diff Can't wait for you guys to go intercooled, would loved to put my vx l67 up against this once you do!!

The burning smell Scotty, is all the rubber under the guards from the last Burn Out you did😉🙂👍👍 Aaannndd maybe intake temps boiling engine oil🙂

Haters are going to hate sadly and for those hating on Supermang they are just basing their info on a typical stock bogadore v6 well she isn't standard for starters. The old v6 buick's have great potential in themselves to go harder with some mods not much effort as you know for well and I know Supermang has great potential plus there are a plethora of mods that you haven't done to her either and the engine isn't exactly what I would consider run in and once you add the inter cooler that will make a improvement for sure as you know at heart I am a Ford man but I have a fondness for the VN's and other legendary Holdens pre VN up till VZ. Supermang certainly brings back nostalgia of my step dads same red vn commodore certainly a good condition VN is like a aged fine wine it is still a sexy car but I know once you do more mods to it I am a positive thinker and I reckon she will one day see in the 11's I am eagerly awaiting to see the stroker engine but still I think the 3.8 configuration will do it I have seen some impressive v6 ecotechs with turbos and they go hard but again you need money a lot of patience keep at it prove those hater wrong.... Lastly I have to say those pre drag burnouts were impressive unlike the attempted limiter bashing feigns in my area their burnouts are honestly weak you can see Supermang has a torquey engine. Before i retired from the auto industry I used to specialize in Falcons and Commodores I know you have the knowledge and experience plus the backing of some great performance experts behind you so fingers crossed.

Excellent episode Scotty 👍👍

Have you guys ever thought of a Snow Performance water methanol injection into the blower? Help keep temps down, extra octane for fuel, more power, chemical intercooler without all the big piping, can keep car more stock looking. The more bosst, more methanol injected, equals lower temps... just an option. Snow Performance sells the kits.

I wonder what my VU Ute will run. L67 swapped, full stage 2 mace cam kit, 16psi pulley, big W2A intercooler, 4.11 diff and a couple other things making 253rwkw on roller dyno. Might have to take it up to HPR one day soon

Love the supermang👌

The shot of nostalgia I got when Scotty said V6 Vengeance 😊

Love ya work Scotty.

Yep needs diff gears. Back in the day i ran 12.89 @ 105 in my VS Ecotec with a shitty SC14 blower on it, rough home tune, 9PSI boost, 15" 205 street tyres, 3.89:1 diff and completely stock motor.

Scotty you are a legend love the burnouts too. I can't wait for the next video on the supermang keep up the good work merry Christmas Scotty🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️☃️

Good work Scotty at least you got to make quite a few runs which gave you some info on the gearing side of things you’ll get there mate keep chipping away. Looking like your sporting some new KT footwear aswell .

Time for diff gears! Then the 12s might happen 3.7s or 3.9s 👌

Great video Scotty

Love to see you add a shot of NOS mild not to spicy and see how it goes then!

Diff gears make such a huge difference, surprised it wasn't one of the first upgrades.

If you leant on the back of that van, you'd be stuck to it for life

Being scumbagged into "just one more run" and being able to drive it home is a win no matter what else happened that day...

Sick dude!

My day has peaked at 8am.

You're 100% right with the bigger tyre profile

well she does a mean burnout mate . sounds gr8 too !

How hot did the engine get Scotty. Also well done mate.🚗🚗👌👌👍👍😊😊Told ya, you need a intercooler and also diff gears as well, then she will do mid 12's. :)

Unlucky mate, you gave it your best...do another one, go again, bigger burnout aha..

Needs intercooling Scotty, the heat is killing power!!!

Cheers Scotty

I love this ❤️😍

That was an awesome attempt , great guys at the track. In mho I think you’d be pretty sweet going to a 3.55 ratio for the bigger tyre whilst keeping the rpm low enough for street/highway driving with street tyres and you’ll be in the high 12’s Good luck with what ever you choose

Scotty, that head wind (25 kmh/16 mph) is definitely slowing you down. A ratio change & a slippery, & the drag radials, on a calm day, or even a tail wind, would see you right. & I'll be watching, on Carnage. Bring the Trolvo out & run some 10's, just to get your eye in.

Time to hit the bottle Scotty !

Atleast it was a PB Scotty. 😎👍

I thought the KT-26'ers would get you the number.

Throw some sinkers in that diff. Keep at it mate.

damn, this v6 commodore could easily smoke my shitbox

Sooo close! I reckon you're right - 3.9s gears LSD should (will) see 12s. I can actually hear it 'winding out' as if gear ratio too tall.

Doin a great job under the bonnet, Scotty

You can hear how much better it runs through the gears on streets. What's the specs of the radials? I'd be working out the rolling diameter difference and aiming for the diff to be around 3.5 on the radials. Should only need a 3.7 but may even want a 3.89 in it. If it drove through the rpm with the same difference between the radials and the street tyres now again but with the traction it'll mean business.

Still, not a bad day at work!

Good effort Scotty! 🇦🇺 😎👍 It's actually pretty well behaved for stock suspension etc. Shorter diff gears and the drag radials should get you close. Oh and up the rev limiter a touch and a Bag of ice on the intake. 😉 I want to see the trolvo/ supermang head to head challenge now! 👏👏👏

18 psi tyre pressure for the win Scotty 👌😎

Scotty like you I would have bet the new tyres would have gotten you into the 12's even if it was high 12's, but after seeing this video I don't think the traction is the real issue. Yes it does account for some small time loss, but not as much as we might have thought. That last PB run was probably as good as traction as you are going to get on any tyre. The problem is in the diff ratio. I don't think you will get 12's out of that gear set. Something in the mid 3's ratio will probably see you down around 12.85 - 12.60 with the new tyres.

PB is a PB buddy! At least you didn't go to Bunnings and get a weed sprayer inlet water spray mod!

I expected more and So did Scotty. I know it's a budget build and standard diff etc but i think there's something else holding it back. The Diff gears/limo might get it high 12s but really it's a second off the Pace. Rappos Racing Budget Supermang ran 12.1@113mph similar setup on its first pass. No intercooler hitting 130deg Airtemps by the end. Lucky for you the Haltech Day was cancelled I would of flogged ya Scotty!! Hahaha Good Luck!!

Great work Scotty. Bummer you didn’t get the 12. Next time m8. LSD& Gears will do it.

Scotty, "dont" cut the bonnet, it'll spoil the car, simply fit the appropriate thickness spacers between the chassis rails and the K member to buy you the necessary space to fit the intercoolerunder the bonnet. It dosn't change the ride hight however it slightly changes the roll centres but i bet you can't tell driving it. The only hassle is the intermitent shaft will need some fiddling , depending on the thickness of the spacer there is some wiggle room on the splines

Supermang needs a turbo for Xmas reminds me of the v6 vengeance days

That things quick. Fine tune easy 12's. Even wind direction change would have seen you their on road tires.

You'll get there boys, miles to tall in the diff gear Trutrac's the go 👍

You'll smash the time scotty. How about some weight reduction in the whip. Seats out etc? Might help... Love the contents. See u at summernats

Needs a turbo ! Get rid of the supercharger if you want 12’s . But nice street car just the same ! Sounds awesome!

Headwind. Cool, humid day = thick air which is not as good as warm humid day....

If your going to cut a hole in the bonnet you might as well do a Whipple conversion 🙂

thats it scotty it has so much power it needs more traction

love my vy l67 @400kw, told u and told u again double row..... love to learn from my breakages

A little better ambient and you've probly got it mate
