    this might already have been covered if so please tell me where oeven if its on the net, is there a list for upgrades\modifications for a VS?? only looking for power and preformance to be a little better then it is, but not looking for major changes... ( might be better then asking a million question)

    mate if you need to ask as basic a question as what to do to an automobile to make it go faster than you probably shouldnt be modifying a car just yet.

    search the internet and read as much as you can

    The best mod you can do for it is to gut it and fit a GenIII, bilsteins and big brakes.

    Actually I'd argue the best way to learn is research and reading. & lots of it. There are no secrets to power - those principles were established decades ago and have not changed. Granted there are some more recent trends but overall there is nothing new in any of it.

    You said it yourself. Probably been covered, it has been. Its been done to death. Search.

    Anyway, anything you do to a VS V6 short of strapping a supercharger to it, is merely for sound. You wont notice any performance increase from the basic mods of exhaust, cai etc. Get some diff gears, an LSD or strap a blower to the top of it.

    exactly, this is basic automotive theory its not even Commodore specific search the internet and this forum for information on how an engine works and what people do to make them work better and you'll have all the answers you need. Just asking a blanket question like that is a waste of time and space

    Big brakes, good suspension then start to worry about some extra pony's under the hood.

    dont even bother to waste your time on a v6..pointless and massive waste of cash

    if you are on your P's then save your cash and either go build an ls1 on the side or buy a v8 when the time comes

    So here ensues the classic question

    'What can I do to make my V6 fast, and faster than the V8's without spending too much money'

    I want to ask, Why do you want more power? You have an ecotec, more power than the buick... I have a buick and am a red P Plater.. it has enough power for me, Why doesnt your more powerful engine have enough for you?

    try chev badges... helps with airflow through the front bumper to the air intake, good for a few kilowatts (usually 50 or so)
