The cold air intake box is a normal stock one.
but inside it is a flat filter Im not sure if it's k&n or some cheapy one?
anyway is that better then the round filters?

normal air intake vs pod filter vs cold air intake: fuel economy
here read this

Im actually looking for performance not fuel economy
but thanks anyway

id be starting elsewhere if you want performance, what else have you done first?

You've got the wrong motor then.

[vs v6]

It's stock 6 apart from 2 and a half inch exhaust
but im looking for better throttle response
so is the flat filter better then the pod?

Yes, yes it is mate.
Stick a cam in it and do some stronger valve springs. Get it tuned and you'll love it.

Was that sarcasm or?
lol

[soop]

No. I am actually being serious.

Use a bigger cam.

grab the above with a tune or if dont wanna spend much grab a 69mm Throttle Body and a tune and that will help your throttle response then just cut half the bottom out of the airbox.

[vs v6]

Bigger cam
K&n filter with 2 holes on the bottom
stronger valve strings
that should be good for a little better performance?

[soop]

Yep, you got it.
You might want different length push rods. But I'm not sure.

Don't bother with the K&N just use a $2 ryco.

Half of the air box?
i have just cut like a 30cm circle lol
and THROTTLE BODY 69mm SUIT HOLDEN V6 VS / VT | eBay
is that alright? pretty cheap if it gives you like 10 extra kw

[vs v6]

Alright
thanks for the help mate
Step by step so im going to start by cams for now

[soop]

It wont give you 10kw. Thats a load of BS. I would be supised if you even notice a difference.

30cm circle will be sweet. Just leave it at that.

[vs v6]

alright then
just need alot $$ now

[soop]

Oh, you'll need lifters as well.
When you do a cam do: Cam, Lifters, push rods and valve springs.

on a V8 prob would with a tune. Put one on with a cam in and a tune and you'l prob get an extra 4-5kw at a guess on v6 throttle response with either will be better gets rid of the crappy v6 lag. Comes down to $$$ with performance.

[darcycammo]

just put a V8 motor in it
