    Default is it worth it?

    Is it worth it getting VCM tune ( i think thats what it called ) to my SV6 VZ or even a power chip.
    I have been given a price on a full pace maker system with extractors at about $2500 and a grower CAI for about 500. Just need to know which is the best way to get a bit more power out of my car and also a smoother drive. and also whats the best way about getting my gearbox to be a bit smoother, its a manual but clunks a fair bit when i change in low gears 1st to 2nd somethings 3rd aswel. any tips or idea's would be muchly appreciated thanks

    Save the money on the tune and get your gearbox looked at by a pro before you blow $3000 trying to make a 6 fast and then your gearbox gives up.

    Is it worth it? No. Be careful taking it to someone who can see $$ signs. Before they do anything expensive get another opinion.

    Hi hesher rims are RPM Vegas 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. U can get these from Big O tyres in Moorebank chek there website out possibly can get it somewer else too. These rims are a pain to clean but... they look awesome!! I did the calipers myself quiet easy just alot of masking up. The dash is stock?? i just put in those gauges which is an oem item anyway. Thanks for comments.
