Do a search mate, it's been well and truly covered. Exhaust, cold air intake, and roller rockers basically.

Hey Etch,

There are heaps of mods which you can do to these engines

In regards to what mods to consider of the bat, that would depend on what you want out of your build and your budget.

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Steve

Yep, exhauts, rockers and intake are top of the list. Diff gears are commonly over looked too. Mafless tune? Forget about it. A MAF is always best utilised until it can no longer serve a purpose in my opinion so an off the shelf memcal may help after you've done a few mods

Etch i also have a vu and I got a manifold insulator, plenum spacer, CAI, 2.5inch cat back & corvette servo and that's made alot of difference. Get roller rockers, I haunt gotten around to them yet as well as the diff gears which as said are greatly over looked. You can't get a memcal tune for our model you'll have to get a flash tune but wouldn't worry bout that for a while. A shift kit would be good as well. All of this would roughly cost you about $2500.
