yep heaps... but you have to make sure you get a tune from the right person and not a ebay dodgy deal.. There are a couple of real good tuners on here..

pacemaker 4480s, hiflo cat, 2.5" exhaust system, vs super6 cai(available from holden) and last but not least k&n filter.
That should get it up and moving to begin with then you could invest in tunes, roller rockers, manual conversion or beefing up the auto if its auto.

mate id say definatly if your planning to do up the car work under engine till u gettin mad power 1st thing 1st get drilled & slotted brakes no good if your got mad power under the hood but needa flat foot too slow down but other then that id say pacemaker extrakters exaust system an cold air intake (K&N'z) etc...

probably the most asked question on here. everyone comes down to how much you wanna spend and what you can be bothered doing and what and where your looking for power. extractors will give it a lil more pull up high but i wouldnt spend the money on difllipos, genies or pacies unless your gonna force induction into your car at some time. personally the extra money spent heavily outweighs the gains that you would get from a cheaper non tuned length set.
