Silver SS

Guys, I bought my TBSS back in Dec. 05 so the warranty is about up. I've been fighting off the urge to mod this thing while under warranty. When I got it the vector tune was the only tune on the market. I think there was a CAI kit available at the time also. Now that alot of guys have modded their TBSS's, what's the best bolt ons and results from it? What are the most popular mods and of course "bang for the buck" items? I don't have a particular goal as to what I want my SS to run, but I'd like to start "fooling around" with it. Thanks in advance!

Tune and CAI for starters.
CAI should be IEatsrt8, vector motorsports (i love mine), Jetttstream (new to market but nice, or ADM. Avoid K&N system as well as volant as they are just plastic crap. A quality CAI and Tune will give you 35-40rwhp.
Next, a converter is the best bang for buck, but I would build tranny if you plan on doing a converter. Converter will shave .4ish off your 1/4 but will take .2-.4 off your mpg.
After that, supercharger is great but expensive 120hp for 7ish grand installed, Efans are popular but will only give you 15-20rwhp, a cam can give you 25-40 depending on the cam, headers with that cam will give another 25-40 depending on your cats, heads can give you another 30ish.
Lots of options, but the more you do, the more it behooves you to build that tranny!!!!
