It really depends on how far you want to go and how much you want to spend.

The first and best mod is the 3.4" pulley upgrade. I highly recommend doing a cold air intake.

No such thing. Best combo of mods starts with one of these:


Then go buy something that you can get some speed out of.

There is nothing wrong with the little L67's sure they aren't a V8 but they have some potential. It's a shame they are under cooked from the factory, in fact, just like the naturally aspirated V6 ecotec they have had their throttle response dulled to save the driver from themselves. With a few basic mods you can wake these things up fairly well.

to try and answer the OP original question
1- upgrade the CAI
2- fit 1:91 roller rockers with the new pushrods
3-up grade the supercharger pully
4-full exhaust , from headers to cat back I'd go for full twin 2.25 inch , or a single 2.5-3 inch
5- custom tune .

I'm there are others , but it depends on your budget .

What immortality said is basically what the cops did when they used this car .. So I'd say that's a pretty good case for making it the best starting mod!

I used to own one of these SV6's and I much prefer the LS1 .. Sorry ... Great car though... Enjoy :)

Which police force made those modifications to those cars?
