How -many- kilowatts.

152 standard. Exhaust, extractors, air filter, maybe get peak power up to 160ish... but midrange should be better - it will feel better.

You talk about working it, in what way exactly do you mean? Cam's, stroked, blown, whatever, it all depends on how far you want to go and how much you want to throw at it.

If you really want power, go grab an SV8.

I reckon thats a good idea, instead of spending so much money on your V6,go for a SV8, exective commodore (with minor upgrades) with LS1 5.7ltr.

my charged calais give me 170kw to 175ish at 4000 rpm.. with extractor and Exhaust, cool air intake and cooling chip i been told i can push it up to almost 190kw.. which is lame to do so.. cause i can get a V8 for the same price as i paid for my calais and also looking at the market holden is not doing a great job of giving that extra performance to V6 drivers.. u can get a 2.3 4 cyl turbo mazda 3 mps which will give 190kw.. imagine if it gets modified..

so all up my recommendation is save your money and think about buying a V8.. if you really want that extra rooooooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr

I would worry about KW, its torque and 1/4 mile results that will give you the real performance indicator.
