    Use the search button to see the other billions of threads like this.

    Or just look at the top of the VR/VS section where there is a sticky called Buick and Ecotec V6 Performance Upgrades

    Wait, what were the power figures for the VS V6 verses V8 again?

    145kw versus 165kw?

    woah, slow down boy. 20kw? thats insane.

    put a cop chip in... lol there is a handy thread with a beginners guide to performance upgrade for the buick and ecotec engines as mentioned above try that. what i personally would suggest it a CAI holden do a genuine for $70 put bigger throttle body on it, use smoother piping on the intake snorkel aswell as the rubber bends restrict air... use a top quality air filter like k&n
