2016 VF Series 2 SSV Redline.
I have a 2013 sv6 ve series 2, I believe these are the details of the engine; HOLDEN COMMODORE SV6 VE -VE 3.6L PET LFX V6 24v DOHC VVT Direct Inj {210kW}. I was wondering if anyone knew how much boost the engine can take, and a relatively safe number to run the boost at. Thanks.
Mate well done so far, we've got a 6litre V8 that's not putting out much more than that. Probably about 225kw, so be very interested to see what yours runs out to with forced induction. Didn't know that they had 4 valve/cylinder heads.

I think that the 210KW refers to flywheel KW's & not RWKW

This was what the LFX engine was rated at from factory
