13-09-08, 15:13 GMT+10#41 buy a minispool. not point going for power your car is never going to be genuinely quick, not for $1000
what you should be aiming for is to make the car more fun, spool + gears. buy a cheapie catback to make it sounds better. yes, people will hang sh*t on you for being like every other c*nt out there but they DO sound better with an aftermarket exhaust on em.
spend the rest on tyres
profit?
edit - just realised it was a VS, maybe got look for a tight LSD rather than a spool

my b/f read in street commodores that a stock motor can handle 10psi-25psi depending on how many k's and maintanance. PRO-FLOW done a kit on a car and it had over 400000k's on 25psi made 300+kw's atw and lasted for bout 3-4 years on stock motor.

Wow. Your boyfriend....he....he really is the be all and end all. Wish I could read.
You'll never get good advice about a V6 on this forum. Go to Bell Street Maccas on a Friday or Saturday, buy a McFlurry, and wait for the pros to show up. Then ask them how they get their pushrod washing machines spin drying so hard.
