help with hp increase

Im looking for a way to increase the power..overall performance of my 2009 ss/tc with keeping the stupid warranty gm gives you...i know buying a part that keeps the warranty will not give me the most results but i still want to do it...anyone got any suggestions.

The only thing you can do is wait for the GM Stage Kit to come out.

The LNF upgrade kit or stage kit if you will. Theres a petition on the home page for it. Thats if you wanna keep the warranty...if you wanna give it up then theres alot more options.

Who knows... most of us are already tuned...

HP Tuners is best
Trifecta, Hahn PPC and Superchips all have tuning available... just not to the degree of HPT

What kind of Tune do you recommend that would give me the most results and keep the warranty.

None of these tunes will save your warranty... Only the GM Stage Kit will do that...

You would agree that a catback would keep the warranty... but adding a downpipe on a turbo car probably would void it?

well if its found to of been the problem then yes otherwise it has to be proven. BUT its easier jut to go in with out the parts on the car. Like my ms3, every time I took it in I would take off the intake so they wouldnt question anything.

I don't know it depends on your dealer really... I have a catless d/p, charge pipes, been tuned since I had 1400 miles on the car...

Don't think I have much of a prayer! lol
