Hey guys and girls,
I have a standard vx series 2 executive with a stock v6 ecotec engine.
Just was on v6 performance website, and they currently are offering a 12.5% discount on total order.
Was looking at getting the following:
81*C Cooler Thermostat
Type-S Cold Air Intake Kit
1.95 Extreme Ratio Rockers or 1.97 Hybrid Extreme Ratio Rockers
Will i notice an improvement in performance of my stock v6 ecotec with these upgrades?
How much for all of this?
81*C Cooler Thermostat
Type-S Cold Air Intake Kit
1.95 Extreme Ratio Rockers
Total Price: $882.25* + 30 for delivery.
81*C Cooler Thermostat
Type-S Cold Air Intake Kit
1.9 Ratio Rockers
Total Price: $859.28 delivered.
*discounted price.
Maybe ill just get the 81*C thermostat and the cold air take? will i see improvements? or better with ratio rockers?
Just check out V6 Performance Australia - V6 Power Parts
81 Degree thermostat isn't going to do anything for you. Your car was designed to run at 91 degress anyway so leave that be. CAI and rockers are a very good upgrade for little work and relatively small money, so yeah I recommend that.
You might also look at an exhaust upgrade sometime down the track.

would a lower thermostat just keep the temp of the car lower, therefore use more fuel?
