5.0L V8 Cold air intake/Upping from 168kw to 185kw

[smw757]

Hi all.

Can someone tell me whether the VS series 2 5.0L V8 had fitted a cold air intake as standard? The intake setup looks a lot like a VR Senator I used to have.

I'm also interested in how I get my 168kw standard V8 to at least the 185kw HSV power figure...I've already put 2.5" exhaust, but that's it...

Thanks in advance!

HSV 185 kw engine also has extractors and engine management changes.

VS SII 5.0lt had a factory CAI and a different air box lid (see pic) to raise the power from 168kw to 168kw.
The HSV 185kw cars run a knock sensor, extractors, duel exhaust (from memorry) and a different tune.

Did the HSV's also have a different cam spec to the holden?
