At the moment can do it for $495 :)

I have manifold insulators a CAI and cat back exhaust, would a tune be worth it or should I get extractors and cats first then look at a tune later.

It would. In saying that though, bare in mind that extractors and high flow cats will take away some bottom end torque

Wow 495 for a tune is a steal!
Yeah it's not bad :)

Hey Steve,

For the mail order tune , would there be any noticeable power/fuel economy improvements if the car was a vz 190 with only manifold insulators?

Thanks

A tune will always help as Holden love to detune their motors. If you run 98 octane fuel as well will help.

Generally speaking there would be for the reasons that wraith has mentioned below

Put it this way, I had a customer with a VZ SV6 take off their extractors and high flow cats as they weren't happy with the reduction in low end torque :(
