    Mate, good work is not cheap, and cheap work is not good!!! If you want Brad to spend some time on your car then you will be looking at a custom twin turbo kit or something close to. He is just about to finish a twin turbo vr v6 stroked to 4.2 with all the fruit and expected to make over 500rwhp. If you are set on cheap, you are going to have to do the labour yourself. Look at a good cia like a v6 sc setup or a mace engineering cia, and a set of high ratio rockers. they will simulate a larger spec cam and give you more performance. If you want more info Id suggest calling mace engineering or check their website. Otherwise no performance workshop like Enhanced or any orther you can find are going to offer you anything super cheap

    hit up greenfoam for a custom tune, best $100 i ever spent.

    You could go for some performance leads, and change your spark plugs while your at it.

    Strut brace reduces body roll on these cars HEEEEEEEEEAPS.

    Also look for some comfy seats out of a senator/clubsport/ss/calais etc. Piece of piss to install, and does wonders over the standard seats

    hope that helps

    Get yourself a memcal tune, probably around $100, grab yourself a CAI, go to Holden spare parts and tell them you need a CAI for VS Supercharged V6. It's an over the radiator style, and will set you back between $60-80, depending on where you live...So far that's all under 200 bucks and you can do it yourself, and it will look stock..ish- Performance Plugs and leads ,each to thier own i guess, but i'd reccomend them.
