hey man and welcome to JC

first thing you do is a search as this is covered so many times.. there is massive amounts of information on here going on about the VL commo and all troubleshooting.

goodluck with it

be sure to navigate to the RIDE section and post up your commo in there.

Short of some sort of forced induction you are wasting your time and $$$. Cut your losses and buy something with a LS in it.

turbo conversion if your on your not on p's
if you are on p's buy a stock turbo motor, build that up, when you get your fulls, put the turbo engine in and have some fun,
bottom line, its not worth buying perfomance mods to a standard 6cyl. keep it serviced and running well and thats all you can really do.

First thing I would do is fix the rust under the front and rear windscreens

And definitely take the underlay out of the boot (under the carpet)

cause that **** will rust up your boot when it starts leaking from the rain
