Vz 3.6 s/wagon
Looking for chip upgrades in SW Sydney for my VZ s/wagon. I've upgraded my exhaust to a x force dual system (cat back). Otherwise standard. Any recommendations for diff ratios or auto upgrades appreciated!

Older ECU's that used an eeprom chip. Your ECU will need reprogramming.

If it's 4 speed at a minimum 3.7 they like to rev. I have a 3.46 in my 5 speed and that's a nice jump from 2.87. but I have another gear between start and 1:1.

I've always ran a minimum of 3.7 with a 4l60e and they had better low down torque then a 175 alloytec. I'd probably go a 3.9 or 4.1 if you want it in the powerband more often and using it.

A tune will make a good difference too.
