I have given up... a mate of mine just put a mild 302 in his commodore, and the other one just got himself a lancer GSR... you know, one of the half decent turbo ones....
So here i am with a stock KF Verada..... nuff said
Now I come for help from you nice people.. after meticulously reading this awesome forum, I have already decided to get pacemakers and a lukey muffler for a bit of a start
Then i want to move on to the suspension, mine is kinda decrepid at the moment.. the rear is sitting too low as it has gone wayy too soft... I'm thinking Low Kings and Monroe GT's, but kinda unsure about it...
Have a bit of money at the moment.. (currently on a military deployment overseas...$$$$... i hope).. and intend to blow a bit when i get back.. :D
I wanna make them cry :badgrin:

unfortunately mate, with decent mods you will be able to make the commo cry, but the GSR is a different matter. all he needs to do is up the boost or make a coupla minor mods, and you'll be crying. but that being said, it doesnt hurt to try.... add a k&n filter to that list too. you could always tack a snail onto ur engine though, depends how many $$ you got...

Yeah, i have already got K&N panel filter. Bought it from autobarn for about $150 i think 4 months ago. Yeah, turbo is a thought, but the engine has been through 160k already, and the thought of extra stress on it is a bit scary. But hey, maybe, do a bit of recon work and then have a look at it, of course when you do recon work, you may as well get a new cam shaft and valve springs.. porting... arrgh stop....*slap*.. gotta try and save some money....
Hmm, are the RPW extractors any better than the pacemakers?? Or would it only be a matter of 1-2kW and slightly better torque??
Kinda keen on that new Verada bodykit now too, and 1290 is not a bad price considering the prices i have seen around. Any more word on a new AM kit?? Will have piccy's of the car soon.. i promise... well if i can get my mate back in aus to send them to me. Being the lazy (insert random expletive here) he is.

Howdy
I have RPWs on 3.0 Auto. Screams nicely. Dunno about Pacers, but the beauty of RPW is it's bolt on, directly, where as Pacers require welding work, I believe.
Diff in power? No idea, but don't think there is major diff.
Just ensure the RPWs are of the new design, which doesn't hang too low and touch ground - especially if u r planning to lower you Magna.
Good luck
And make a proper CAI for your self too. Use smooth piping and low curves.
