    Hey guys,

    Have around a thousand to spend on a mod or mods for a 5L Ute.

    It is a shift kitted Auto with stall converter and cam, fat pipes exhaust, extractors and OTRCAI. Brakes have been upgraded and I am not after anything cosmetic.

    Should I invest in a decent tune or slap on another mod?

    Suggestions for something around the thousand dollar mark.

    Cheers guys

    High flow cat, throttle body and a tune will liven it up.

    Get a tune from ebay nicefrog or delcowizzid on here. Best $$$ you will spend. Next, if you haven't already, replace your coil. Often forgotten on those 5 litres coz of their location. Next put a spool in it. They were the best gains I found for my VP 5 litre by far.

    After a tune i'd suggest Nitrous oxide.
    the extra power is only there when you want it & it only uses extra fuel when it's active.
    I don't think it (NOS) or a spool/mini spool is legal for the street, if that is a concern for you.
    I love decisions like this as they end up in Fun! :yahoo::driving:

    when you say throttle body, what exactly are you meaning by that, im buying a vs 5litre very soon so instead of starting a thread similar to this already lol. The car has extractors, ort, exhaust and a small cam, im not sure on the specs of the cam, do i need to know the specs on it and what else do i need to know in order to get a tune?
