I think they were made by a UK company called TAS (Motorsport ?) but have stopped trading now i think ?

By chance are more pics of it on some shops site? I'd like to take a look at their mounting setup if possible.

Very cool I like it except the non functional hood scoop which I would not like even if it were functional.

That looks like the motor in the new GTO to me.

'04 GTO engine= LS1 = C5 Corvette/F-body engine

However, the Monaros(GTOs) they get over there had worked over LS1s making more power than the ones we got from the factory over here.
