It really depnds how much money you want to spend,you could also get high ratio rockers,cam,larger throtttle body,bigger cai ,supercharge it even,like I said it depends on how much cash you want spend.

First up i'd put a set of factory 17's or 18's onto it, like the VT Calais International 17's i have on mine, or some machined VE Calais V 18's. Throw in a decent mp3 headunit & sell the maestro headunit and CD stacker on eBay.

Assuming yours is a n/a V6 and not blown, start of with a better exhaust air filter and chip, then the things Robbo C suggested above.

I know it's easy to say and not much use to you as you've already bought yours, but if you want supercharged it'd be easier to buy one and start from there, particularly given the fact current VT Calais prices have gone thru the floor.

(EDIT: whoops sorry you said you'e done your mags & stereo, i can't read!)

ok well i have decided first to upgrade the exhaust air filter and chip i dont really know much about these so if i start with the exuast can someone tell me what i whoulkd be looking for

[D-Man]

go for a set of pacemaker extractors and a 2.5" cat back..single pipe (anything higher without greater power than stock you will lose a little back pressure) and i beleive less back pressure = less power? correct me if im wrong there..

2.5" has a nice tone to it.
2.75" has a better tone imo that's what's on mine at the moment.
