Mate, theres not "cheap" mod in those motors.
Exhaust, Intake and all the usual stuff but its not really worth it unless you have deep pockets.

Don't even bother, you drive a six cylinder barge. I have an 09' SV6 ute and its a land barge too. Just leave it till your off your P's (less than two years for you) and buy a V8 calais then or even start saving for a series 1 VE Senator as they will be very affordable in a couple of years time if your after performance and comfort.

But if you want to throw money away; diff gears, shift kit (for your slush box), OTR CAI and extractors to finish off your exhaust. No need for a tune as these are pretty well tuned from factory. Then if you want to spend more, a subtle nitrous kit with a 75 shot would keep you happy for a little while.

Don't bother it's a land barge. The earlier V6's were bad enough to waste money on but the VE's are even worse.

i have a sx6 commodore and from what i can tell everything is done pretty well how they come they do already have a decent amount of power for there capacity unlike the older commodores .
One mod i would really like is for the stability control system to be completely removed its dangerous and stops any fun .

Listen to this video... note the 'pssssccchhhttt' noise when the throttle closes?? That sound is the only way to get cheap reliable horsepower from an Alloytec wink.gif
