My 2SS arrives next week and I have a little cash after paying for it to spend. Here is my initial plan, let me know what you think or what I should do instead. Maximum performance with a nod to looks and sound.

-Cold Air Intake
-Hypertech MaxEnergy programmer
-Tint Windows

The only other thing I thought of is exhaust, but I believe I will get more performance from the cold air intake and tune.

Your input is appreciated.

I would definitely consider an exhaust, the sock setup is a joke. There are allot of options out there i.e. axle back, cat back, or headers back. I have the magna flow street series catback and will soon be adding ARH headers/high flow cats. The magna flow system has a nice deep aggressive tone, a little quite for me but the wife likes it.

Get a Smoothlock! :) It is the most effective exterior modification you can get for your 2010 Camaro for under 10 bucks.

I definitley want to do an exhaust, but right now I have a limited budget, and if I buy an exhaust, that is all I could afford on top of buying the car. I think I will get a better return off of my original list, if not, please let me know.

Smoothlock looks good, where can you get some touch-up paint that is an exact match for GM's Rally yellow color? Does GM offer any?

You should be able to get them from your dealer, but you can also try AutoZone, etc.

I know there are also some sites out there that offer factory match touch up paint in aerosol cans.

i would do a TRUE cold air intake and exhaust. forget the programmer for now. wait until you get more mods done then take the car have have it professionally tuned. i will never use a hand held programmer for my car. most speed shops only charge about 300-500 for a tune. the programmer you were goign to get was probably in the same ball park as that. and i bet the shops will be able to get more power out of the car, than the pre programmed hand held tuner will get.

http://bwoodyperformance.com/product_info.php?cPath=61&products_id=419 this is the intake i was going to get. but i wont need it going the boosted route. and there are all kinds of exhaust systems out there. i went with borla. but depending on what you can afford, flowmaster has a very good sounding and very inexpensive exhaust. i know magnaflow is also pretty comaparable to flowmaster.

Auto or Manual?

Shifter/short stick maybe?

What other componets are you upgrading to go with the boost to keep from tearing up the engine/back end? I assume you will be getting an addition 75 to 150 hp from the supe.

not changing a damn thing. a supercharger will add about 45% more power and the turbos will add a bit more. the motor can hold it to a certain point , without changing internals.
