VY Commodore 04 series II Executive
Hey everyone i got my VY sedan a few weeks ago and ive got some money together any tips on some things i could do to get some more power out of my car ? exhaust seems a good place to start but i was looking for some more ideas short of a turbo. Prices and or places in perth i should inquire about would be great information as well.

I am capable of diy mods but in an effort to reduce police or worse parental attention id prefer to leave it to the experts but am always interested : D

Bolt on supercharger was my friends best bet but im sure people that actually have cars would be more help :) thanks.

p.s if it helps its a stock V6 3.8 vy commodore series 2 executive.

The cheapest way to make it go faster is to replace the airfilter, fuel filter, reset the ECU, change the diff to a 3.73 or 4.11, put some good quality petrol in it and push the accelerator pedal harder. Oh and remove weight from the car, that helps.

Seriously don't even bother with modifying a V6 on P's - all you will succeed in doing is making it sound like a wet fart and waste all your money. I know people who spent thousands on rockers, intake, bigger/twin throttle, exhaust, tune and they put their car on a dyno and it made 5rwkw more then stock.

I agree with TMM Mate, do you few little cheap things like has been said, air filter some diff gears maybe a shift kit etc, but dont try get power from an n/a v6. For the same or less money you could just get a blower or a turbo when your off your p's.
