Power of commodore

The VS Commodore must be a good buy because it has the same motor and drive train as the 2003 VY Commodore. I've heard the VY has more power at 152kW compared to the 147kW in the VS. Can you explain the differences in the two engines?

The change took place with the VX in 2000. The increase in power is predominantly due to a more powerful electronic control module that could process more data more quickly, and a new smoother intake manifold that improved the V6's gas flow and volumetric efficiency.
