    Hey guys
    I got a VS V6 Berlina
    The cold air intake box is a normal stock one.
    but inside it is a flat filter Im not sure if it's k&n or some cheapy one?
    anyway is that better then the round filters?
    thanks

    Yes, yes it is mate.
    Stick a cam in it and do some stronger valve springs. Get it tuned and you'll love it.

    grab the above with a tune or if dont wanna spend much grab a 69mm Throttle Body and a tune and that will help your throttle response then just cut half the bottom out of the airbox.

    Bigger cam
    K&n filter with 2 holes on the bottom
    stronger valve strings
    that should be good for a little better performance?

    Yep, you got it.
    You might want different length push rods. But I'm not sure.

    Don't bother with the K&N just use a $2 ryco.

    It wont give you 10kw. Thats a load of BS. I would be supised if you even notice a difference.

    30cm circle will be sweet. Just leave it at that.

    Oh, you'll need lifters as well.
    When you do a cam do: Cam, Lifters, push rods and valve springs.

    on a V8 prob would with a tune. Put one on with a cam in and a tune and you'l prob get an extra 4-5kw at a guess on v6 throttle response with either will be better gets rid of the crappy v6 lag. Comes down to $$$ with performance.
