for starters, get a v8 throttle body for it, redo the intake system, include a hsv cold air intake (the full length ones, not the half length ones) extractors, exhaust, shift kit, 3.9's, stally, should give quite a few cars a run for their money.... if it dont, then you start to get serious...
either twin turbo, or stroker, headwork, cam depends on wha tyou want it to do and how much you wanna spend....
oh btw, our old vn nearly got a twin turbo setup aobut 10 years ago, but it was just a daily

you know that really old footage of the A-bomb test, where the trees turn to dust, and that house gets blow away.... that nuclear test facility/area 51....

I do, they're a piece of crap.
Look back even 4 years ago at the resale value, VN's passing in much less for 2k, VL's were STILL fetching 4k .....
Headling falls out, door seals fall off all sorts of things .... they're just crap.
