I have booked the Commodore in for a "Tune", I expect another 10-20Kw and much better economy, taking it up to 300Kw with the VCM intake. Anyone else done or had experience with this!

Its is a tune (re-programme ECU) and a VCM cold air intake, nothing else, std exhaust etc
2007 VE V8 6.0L starts at 270kw std

We tune with vcm at my work on ford and holdens. Its a pritty good program the holdens have a good ecu standard. The intake over radiator kits make a good differance as does a decent exhaust

And what's the impact on economy!

They use less fuel, Holden run a very rich conservative tune standard. My LS1 puts out 312KW, and uses around 11l/100km on a trip.

Yep, its already better.
May sound funny however it has to do with NOx in the exhaust, and it is created with too high combustion temperature, so to get the temp down they throw in more fuel, so creating more CO2 to make less NOx.

No doesn't sounds funny at all. I realise better economy than factory is usually possible, I was just curious if you can do it without doing the exhaust as well.
