    Default VX commodore Mod

    This has probably been asked plenty of times in this thread but i was wondering what is the better option to go a CIA either MACE or one of Original parts . com or go MACE Plenum/Manifold spacer with a manifold insulator, best option being more power and better breathing??

    Thanks in advance

    Value for money I would go with a manifold insulator first, preferably a 25mm item.

    On the note of CAI kits, our VT-VY V6 kits are the easiest to install on the market.

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

    Value for money, if you budget stretches far enough, then a set of rockers would be the go. Second to the rockers would be a manifold insulator to suit.

    so i have the choice to get either of these 1:98 MACE Ultra high Ratio Rockers Holden V6 VS-VX Ecotec and Supercharged (L67) | eBay they are the ultras or these HIGH RATIO ROLLER ROCKERS FOR HOLDEN ECOTEC AND L67 V6 | eBay same price 450$. 2 things im concerned about 1. do i need to throw anything else in with the ultras and 2. do u think the ultras are worth it buying them second hand they look alright as far as i can see what u guys think?

    if I were you I wouldn't buy the second hand items for the following reasons;

    1) They may be damaged from improper installation or misuse (may not be visible but can cause problems in the long run)
    2) You get a LIFETIME warranty if you buy from MACE

    Do the smart thing

    The difference in power gains are shown below for NA setups

    1.9:1 10 to 13rwkW
    1.98:1 13 to 20rwkW

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

    Andrew,

    The rockers we supply are manufactured items. These are perfectly fine, so much so that we offer a lifetime warranty on them

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

    The manifold insulator and plenum spacer would be the items you would want to consider first then

    You have a PM
