VY SS ute STROKED/BLOWN
hey people.
i have a VY series II SS ute.
mods done so far:
Comp cam (mild cam, spec's unknown)
OTR intake
Maffles tune
Pacemaker extractors
Custom twin 2 1/2 exhaust with X-force stainless hi-flow cats and Red Back high flow muffler.

got a new clutch going in on Wednesday (TEX Z grip clutch with a Ripshift), so more power is on the line.

i have been thinking a storker kit, but what are some other mods i can do to get some good numbers with out going forced induction (not yet anyway).

Aside from spending lots of cash on little things for minimal gains eg MSD coils, fast manifold, larger TB, best to save for the stroker kit. About 10K i think drive in and out.

You could get the manifold and TB setup (85-92mm) for about $1,500. Apparently it's around the 20hp gain mark. I would dare say that would also be after a decent dyno tune, another $1k +

Next mod would be heads ,depending on cam specs you should see the 300rwkw mark ,
dont waste your money on fancy manifolds, a t/b helps
spend a little extra and get double valve springs for your own insurance .
