ah..found another but this is the aussie one
When the C&V Performance VY Holden blasted down the quarter mile in 10.35-seconds it authoritatively established itself as Australia’s fastest LS1. With a terminal speed of 135 mph, this baby doesn’t hang around – and Con from C&V (the owner of the car) says it will go even faster in the same tune!
What’s even more remarkable is the limited number of mods that the car packs under the lid.
Con explains that the guys at C&V have been doing a lot of LS1 R&D over the past three years and last year they decided to showcase their efforts with a company promo car. "We went for the SV8 LS1 because it’s lighter than the SS. That was important because I weigh around 155kg and we wanted to keep the weight down to a similar level as everyone else," he says.
The first mods involved drop-kicking the factory exhaust system and bolting on C&V’s own design Tri-Y headers and twin 2 ½-inch exhaust system. Con says a lot of hours were put into the development of the exhaust and he isn’t keen to give away too many details.
The air intake was enhanced with by enlarging the feed into the airbox and whacking in a K&N replacement panel filter.
To liberate the maximum power gain from the exhaust and intake, Con fitted a UniChip interceptor to customise the fuel and ignition maps. Interestingly, the factory ECU was also electronically recalibrated to provide a higher rev limit. The engine will now spin to 6800 rpm. The ECU was also modified to alter the shift points and the transmission line pressure.

For the record, that's a TOTALLY INSANE GTO!!! I wonder how well the CTS Super V would compare.
