    just wondering what other mods can i do to my ute to give it a bit more grunt

    so far ive got:

    Full exhuast from exctractors to the cat back
    Ngk plugs (soon comming msd coils packs n 10mm top gunleads)
    Pod with cold air enclosure

    these are future mods:

    YT roller rockers
    Plenum spacer
    Manifold spacer
    Green foam tune

    apart from that there anything other than forced induction, gears, shift kits, stroker kits & cams

    im not after any of them, other then that is there any other small mods i can do?

    oh well thats a great oil anyway, i was just trying to think of things that increase power that aren't gears/supercharger etc. bored and polished 69mm throttle body?

    ah alright mate. i've heard it gives you more in the way of throttle response but still a small increase in power. i have never seen royal purple at supercheap, i'll be looking for some myself in 2thousand k's so i'll let you know if i find some. i know you can buy it online though
