Hey a new Philly guy, alright. Maybe we can have more than 4 people at meets now haha. Welcome do our dysfunctional family. My first 2 mods to my ss/sc were intake (makes the s/c whine way louder and you can kinda feel gains) and exhaust. Then I cought the modding bug and went kinda crazy from there.

PS - Check out the "Philly Area Chat Thread". That's where all us philly guys sit around and bs. Also the spot to find out about meets.

Congrats, how much did you pay for an 06 and how many miles on it?

I agree to disagree.

First of all, it depends on where you want to go with the car. Personally to keep it safe on the motor without building it. I would also start out with cooling mods.

1. Heat Exchanger
2. Dual Pass End Plat With Option B
3. Injen or RAW Cold Air Intake
4. Polished Supercharger, very small port work. (Don't need much.)
5. Throttle Body Spacer with Fitting for Meth injection.
6. A good company exhaust or custom cat back.
7. ZZP downpipe with highflow cat and extra bung for wideband sensor.
8. Go with a good header.
9. Go with a Nate's pulley set up. 2.8" pulley.
You will also need 60 lbs injectors.
Get a meth kit, then a real good dyno tune.

If your into handling and drag racing go with this stuff also:
Stage II Drive Shop Axles
AEM wideband
Aeroforce Interceptor Gauges x2
Strut Bar of your liking.
Front and Rear Sway Bars
Coil Over Kit

All this would = one badass SS/SC. I would avoid trans mounts and engine mounts, a Ingall's ETD will work just find and you really don't want it to stiff with that kind of power and mods. A good set of slicks will help you get off the line on Drag Days. Look for 12 second passes with this set up.

Also, be very careful what people tell you. There is tons of people on here who know what they are doing but sadly the same ammount who do not.
