    +1.. whats done to it first?

    With my VZ Calais 190, the best mod i've done thus far has been lowering it with Kings all round and Monroe Shocks... The car is completely different to drive. The shocks are the handling factor, and the monroes cut out almost all the body roll it had stock. That cost me 850 professionally installed.

    Catback + Two Hole Mod + Tune would also be a good way to spend $1000. Depends what your chasing tho. But imo, proper suspension is more rewarding then power mods on a V6...

    just the basics are done like the 2 hole thingy, k&n, 19's, king shocks n springs.
    been thinking about a tune later down the track.
    whats a full exhaust worth these days? or cat back with extractors n hi flow cats?

    Full Exhaust, Tune and the rest, PM Impulsesv6 about his modded manifold work, i have a trial he has made, whilst he does mine and i can say it does make a difference, little bit more punch low range.. better fuel economy.. cant say for sure how many kw it gains but i will have a 1/4 mile difference on saturday, im going to get a few runs with standard and non standard manifold and get averages prob two each.

    CPR6 manifolds are leaning towards the expensive side, best bang for buck cai wise is the mcai. i personally would spend $1000 on springs, zorst, mcai and mod manifold.
