    Default VY Performance Upgrades?

    I'm looking to get some extra punch out my commodore ('04 VY II V6) while still keeping it naturally aspirated (Still oy my green P's). Im planning on purchasing THIS Exhasut setup and THIS Growler induction kit, what kind of performance boost do you reckon i will obtain? What other mods can you guys recomend?

    roller rockers, 3.9 diff gears, hi stall, or save and buy a v8 afterwards.

    Great price on the SS CAI. That's all the mods you would want to do to the V6 IMO. Even may want to give the cat back a miss and fit either 3.73 diff gears/ LSD and 1.9 high ratio rockers. Diff gears willl give you the biggest gain out of the lot

    Get an exhaust from Not_An_ABBA_Fan. He'll get you a great deal and you'll save a TON of money. Sound really good too. I just bought one and am way more than happy with it. I have a VYII V6 btw. As for induction. I wouldn't bother myself. Can't justify the $400 on little gain. However I don't have one so can't really say but I'd save for roller rockers or even stuff from MACE first. However my plan is to save for a V8 when I'm off my greens.
    A Commodore is a passion. Anything else is just a car

    look up what MACE have because they do a CAI that does the same as the growler but is cheaper and have other mods to go with it
