Really it boils down to how much you want to spend, I mean we could list a whole pile things but they might be out of your league so to speak.

Obviously first things first or the most popular power gains are exhaust with hi-flow and headers which you probably already have with some form of cold air induction or even a memcal/cam upgrade.

The easiest way to easily get 200kW is a supercharger although they do come at a price.

Stroke it! even stroking it to 336 should get you about 220kw with extractors, exhaust and get the chip reprogrammed the rest of your car will be able to handle the power, prices vary but you can get your car stroked to 355 for about 4k so common sense will tell you tell 336 will be cheaper check out this webby:

evening. i was under the impression that the vs ss was 185 kw stock, so a good exhaust and cold air induction, and possibly chipping woud send it over the 200 kw mark. I may be wrong?

sorry guys but
VS SS was 168 kw stock and the HSV kit moved it up to 190
but they still advertised it as 185i....sounded good I spose
(VR was 168kw and 185kw, the 3kw for VS came from a differnt air filter and inlet
system with some cold air ducting)
the 185i kit is extractors, advanced timimg with knock sensor
and HSV style CAI with revised chip
you will revised heads or a cam plus some extra zorst mods to get to 200kw
just like HSV did ......
