    VX SS Spark plugs and wires

    NGK TR6 plugs are a good cheap alternative, just have to change them more often factory leads are fine, or just shop around and get NGK, Bosch, top gun etc. they all make good leads

    Auto or manual?

    clearly you do, by getting your feelings out. of course people can drive what they want. the OP was asking for opinions, i gave mine. you don't agree, good for you. luckily we are all allowed to have our own

    VX Series 2 SS Upgrades/Modifications

    to get 300rwkw in an auto vx you will need big cam, decent heads, bigger intake and throttle body, upgraded fuel pump OTR decent exhaust and you might get there. also budget for a trans cos that will be spat out, a decent converter, probably driveshafts and a diff also

    Pros and cons on camshaft upgrade ?

    VCM do a couple of cams that work with the standard stall. as for having to be closer to the power band to run right or else limping along.... absolute rubbish, a set of gears and a proper tune with be fine. just because the power band is higher in rpm does not mean it makes no power below that,

    LS1 Gen 3 mods?

    a tune could be anywhere form $500-1000 depending on where you go, i would make sure you go to a reputable shop, that knows what they are doing. as for the "big mouth" forget it and get a decent OTR cold air. but a decent cold air, exhaust and a tune is the best place to start, then diff...

    Lifter replacement LS1

    seems very high, that is 2.5 days just to take heads off and on. it is a decent job, but i wouldn't of thought that many hours. a solid day-day and half at best i'd be getting another price from elsewhere, i would expect around the $1500 give or take

    WH statesman/caprice bobtail spoiler

    i thought it was BS as well, rang a few different dealers and got the same response, so ended up just getting off ebay. i think sometimes you have to get lucky and speak to someone who actually knows what they are doing and actually gives a ****

    WH statesman/caprice bobtail spoiler

    thanks for the info mate. reckon i will drill it in to secure it properly. haven't tried holden yet, just assumed it would be some ridiculous price like most of their other ****. tired them for a badge a while back and they don't make them anymore as the car is 12 years old.

    WH statesman/caprice bobtail spoiler

    Yep that is the one I am after. Haven't had any luck with wreckers here. Is yours screwed on as well as glued? How and where are the screws located? Do you think just sticking it down with sikaflex would be sufficient?

    Smallest cam for 300rwkw?

    i have to agree. why the 300rwkw? you are not going to achieve that with a small cam. so if all you are after is some more grunt and better note with still respectable fuel economy, why not just get a small cam. 222/224 or similar is a decent stick, that with give you a decent increase in...
