Cheap power gains?

[crazybiker]

Do much highway driving?

If all your looking for is to get a bit more pick up and go, and are willing to sacrifice some top end, change the diff gears. Not exactly cheap, maybe $600 or so, but it'd be the most effective.

Alrighty since I am looking for the most dirt cheap options, I think I'm going to get a CAI from Holden (that right?) and just a K&N Panel Filter.

In getting the CAI from Holden, do I just phone up a Holden Dealership and say that I want a CAI on my Commy VS (will they install too)?
Also I looked at SuperCheapAuto and they have K&N Filters for $109? that price sound right?

Get exhaust, CAI and a delcowizard tune.

I noticed a huge difference in performance from his tune on my stock VS, plus an improvement in fuel econimy.

Alternatively, do what I did with my VR.
Spend endless late nights searching auction sites for used performance parts and beg, steal or borrow the cash to buy them, then do all the work involved with fitting them yourself in your driveway late at night with mismatched, secondhand tool sets. In the rain.

secondhand tool sets = shifter and a bent terminal screwdriver

Nice unneeded thread bump

Don't know what to think;


1. Good on you for using the search
2. Was it really necessary to dig an old thread JUST to say that?

Though, I'm leaning towards a 3rd option; All of the above!
