    Best bang for buck.. L67..

    Not sure about over your way, but in Sydney @ commwreck (probably the best commodore wrecker in the state) a complete low KM l67 conversion (engine, loom, trans, tailshaft, ECU etc) can be had for $1800, so for around $2000 (to allow for anything extra you might need) you have a turn key l67 in your car.. Great base for supporting mods, like smaller pulley, cooler etc...

    Good advice here. The L67 is built to take boost and is really no less reliable than your average ecotec. I've got 250k on my VS and its been running 10PSI for the last 90k and there's been no issues whatsoever. In a lighter VP shell a supercharged 6 would be heaps of fun

    If I had the cash I would prob look into the l67.

    I know it's lame but i did a custom CAI and pod filter for the VN when i had it, certainly helps it along. If i had kept it the next thing i was going to do was a full exhaust.

    Well ok I have done a few cheap mods to the VP with parts mostly scabed for little cash
    list as follows;
    Pacemaker extractors
    Straight pipes with hotdogs
    Diff gear swap to 4.11:1
    And even threw in a built box with a 3000 converter for a bit of fun!!!

    Any good reviews on anything else and where to go from here??

    Cheers aka.
