Holden Commodore SV6

Hello all. I am all new to this so i hope i am posting in the right area.
I have purchased a 2006 SV6 VE Commodore a few months back, i am wanting to know some cost effective ways to increase some Kw in my car.
Although i would love to have it supercharged, i really dont have that kind of coin at this moment.

Any thoughts and suggestions would be great thank you!

Used Cars - New Cars - Search New & Used Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au -> first choose 'sell your car'. Take what you can get for it. Then go back to same site and choose 'cars for sale' and either pick a V8 of the same model if the VE is what you like. Problem solved.

So what sort of coin do you have?

How much you want to outlay?

Please ignore above posts as they obviously didn't read properly, OTR intake, full exhaust system, tune and a under drive pulley will see you around 200 rwkw add cams CPR6 manifold and you should have around 240 close to a stock ss, email Steve from mace engineering if you want confirmation of the power output as this is what he's told me.

If you don't have enough coin to supercharge it, you don't have enough coin to make it faster. Unfortunately, the V6 just isn't cheap to make fast. The missing two cylinders are the problem.

Same power as a stock SS, and outlaid more money with the SV6 + mods than a SS.

If you want a bit more out of it I would do basic bolt on's and a tune. It will have a bit more go but far from a rocket ship.
