2009-2010 VE 6.0 L76

Stock : 260kw - Auto with L76 6.0 AFM Engine. 270kw - Manual with L98 6.0 Engine please refer to 2006-2008 VE Packages.

From 2009 Model Year onwards Auto Holden Commodores went to the L76 / L77 6.0 Engine with Active Fuel Management (AFM). This is the same as the earlier L98 6.0 270kw Engine except four cylinders deactivate under light throttle to save fuel. It runs a slightly different profile camshaft hence power output dropped to 260kw. Holden also put an even quieter exhaust on these 2009 onwards cars to mask the distinctive change in sound when the four cylinders deactivate. So anytime you add aftermarket Rear Mufflers or Big Bore Exhaust to these AFM powered Cars you are faced with a noticable non V8 Sounding drone under light throttle as they go in and out of four cylinder deactivation. All our Retune Packages include turning off of the AFM mode so your V8 runs and sounds like it should on 8 cylinders all the time!

All Stages of Power Packages are based on installing into a STANDARD Car. Every Stage includes all the parts listed including Installation and GST so simply choose any Stage you want from the get go, you don't need to do each stage. This is a full Drive in Drive Out Service. If your car already has some existing parts in a Stage then please contact us for a quote to do the rest.

L76 6.0 Engines have a lot of power potential as they have the higher flowing Rectangular Port Heads (same as L98 and LS3). Even though AFM is not enabled from factory the components are not suitable for aftermarket Camshaft installs and Superchargers so require an AFM Delete Kit for Stages 6-9 which is included in the price. L76 Lifters are a known weakpoint in higher km cars so for longterm reliability this is a bonus as we also remove the Heads and install new Genuine LS7 Lifters, Head Gaskets and Head Bolts etc as part of the AFM delete kit.
