If you're looking to wake up your Holden VE V6 without diving into major engine modifications, a quality intake, catback exhaust, and custom dyno tune can make a significant difference.
This VE V6 came into the Revhigh workshop for a straightforward performance package, retaining the factory engine while improving airflow and optimising the ECU calibration. The result was a noticeable increase in both power and torque, along with a more responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
Dyno Results
Before
169.9 wheel kW
380.8 wheel Nm
After
193.9 wheel kW
422.1 wheel Nm
Performance Gains
✅ +24.0 wheel kW
✅ +41.3 wheel Nm
✅ +32.2 wheel HP
✅ Approximately +40.3 engine HP
hese gains were achieved with a combination of an intake system, catback exhaust, and a custom dyno tune—demonstrating just how much performance can be unlocked from the factory setup.
Why These Upgrades Work
Intake System
A performance intake allows the engine to draw in cooler, less restricted air, improving airflow and throttle response while helping the engine breathe more efficiently.
Catback Exhaust
Replacing the factory catback exhaust reduces exhaust restriction, improves exhaust flow, and enhances the V6's sound without affecting emissions equipment.
Custom Dyno Tune
The biggest improvement comes from the custom dyno tune. Rather than relying on a generic tune, every calibration is tailored to the individual vehicle using live dyno data. Fuel delivery, ignition timing, throttle mapping, and other parameters are optimised to maximise safe and reliable performance.
More Than Just Peak Power
While the peak figures are impressive, the real benefit is how the car drives every day.
Owners typically notice:
Improved throttle response
Stronger mid-range acceleration
Smoother power delivery
Increased torque throughout the rev range
Better overall drivability
he result is a VE V6 that feels sharper, more responsive, and far more enjoyable behind the wheel.
