WEll, I don't see too many posts here for the V6..compared to most of us with the 4cylinder 80 hp Vitara, I would envy the power you have already. I don't know too much about these engines, but sometimes a quick way to deal with better performance ( assuming that car is tuned up properly) is to deal with the exhaust - a high performance exhaust, headers, etc. Those performance chips you see on ebay are a no go, I think tricking the car to think it's running cold and therefore enriching fuel intake, etc. All sorts of problems happen with this.
Regarding your tires, probably the best standard lift is the Calmini. People here do suspension lift and/or body lift. For stock tires, the biggest without rubbing would be 225 (225/75 which I have on my car), but I must say that when increasing from the 215's I had on, I was able to feel the lift in the center of gravity of the car (or maybe it was just in my head...). Aside from the look, I would only do a lift if you're off-roading a lot. Also too you have to remember that after a certain point, you will have to extend harness steering, brake lines, etc. If you do a search on the forum, you will see tons of posts about tires and lifts. Without the lift, the 235's may rub during full turn, etc. Lots of talk here about loss of good gas mileage with the bigger tires, too.
